Its very debatable. What is "illegal redistribution" in one country is not in 
another. 

Of course, I'm sure MS doesn't like it when third world countries engage in 
rampant copying/distribution of Windows and Office - but I bet most of those 
countries have no laws on their books that make software "piracy" illegal. 

What is illegal in Redmond, USA is not necessarily illegal in the rest of the 
world and vice versa.
