     If I have license, then this is unimportant, how I acquire program
itself: in company own shop on physical media, like floppies; in some 3rd
party computer shop; through network wires from company site or shop site or
somewhat else. At least, until license (as all seen by me licenses) doesn't
cover method of receiving program image. (Usually) licenses only cover usage
of program.

     Even if we forget, that many commercial licenses itself break laws (for
example, by explicitly prohibit making backup of media with program image),
anyway using 3rd party site for legal backup copies isn't illegal! Don't
ascribe us guilty, which not exist!

     Knife may be used for cutting bread and for killing. Does using knife
for killing makes it illegal for using in any case (including cutting
bread)?
