I was playing on my computer last night and realised that software CDs/DVDs contain regular files, just like in My Documents or Pictures. They all have weird file names but you can copy them to your HD! Why don't we all save a bunch of money and just email each other these files instead of buying more software?

I don't see why it would be illegal, if I bought the software, I should get to email it to whoever I like.

My suggestion was to send them via Email, not Ethernet...
