  My apologies; I assumed you wanted to find someone with a disc so
they could make you a copy.  I presumed that if someone had a copy,
they would not want to transfer it to you, since they were presumably
saving it for some reason.

  No, actually, it wouldn't.  As I mentioned, most licenses do permit
copies to be made by the purchaser, for internal use, for purposes of
installation, staging, and/or backup.  And even if they did not, the
law specifically allows for such use.  See US Code, Title 17, Chapter
1, Section 117, Subsection (a).
