| 138311 | 2003-04-24 02:42:00 | I know that it is not acceptable to pirate software, but is it okay to borrow hardware like printers, digital cameras and scanners from people, other than by rental? | Computer Guy (3664) | ||

Yes. You can't hit a button and duplicate a router or a monitor or a scanner as you can a CD with apps on it. |

| 138313 | 2003-04-24 03:19:00 | I don't think hardware has licence agreements :) As long as you aren't ripping the hardware to bits, and replicating it yourself (which is quite time consuming and difficult), then you shouldn't be breaking any law. I do know that some specialist equipment says that it can only be used by a specific company/person, but I don't know of any consumer type hardware with those limitations. |

| 138314 | 2003-04-24 03:26:00 | Actually there may be EULA's regarding the drivers, and with things like digital cameras and scanners all the photo manip, image management software and the like that come with them. Food for thought |
