I have always wondered about buying used software that is licensed. Since the buyer has no contact or agreement with omega research how can he be subject to any restrictions placed by omega on the license if in fact it is a lease. It seems to fit the definition of a sale much more closely than the definition of a lease.

Therefore, there's really no difference between "buying" a used copy and just plain-old bootleg copying the software... either way you're using unlicensed software.
