Seems to me that Autodesk should be able either through professional courtesy or litigaton to prevent ebay from allowing these listings if it is indeed illegal.

There are gobs of listings for student software and versions as old as 97 (oldest one I saw, didn't look through all of them). Not all of them are for program software, some are cd's /downloads of blocks and house plans and that sort of stuff but many are for the actual software. I just did a search on ebay, and just under the software category there are 170 listings for "autocad". Most criminals can open a locked car or house faster with their tools than the owner can with a key. Given enough time, effort, and the willingness to use pirated software I suspect it was only a momentary glitch. But that only gave way to keygen and warez sites so one wonders how much good it really did. 2002 pre-dates the start of online verification/authorization that AutoDesk subsequently instituted to cut down on piracy.

Thus my opening sentence.ĪutoCAD 2002 is old enough that the only two pieces of information one needs to install it are the serial number XXX-XXXXXXXX and the authorization code XXXXXXXX that accompanies each CD. I asked where both the seller and the buyer were located in anticipation of suggesting the two meet face-to-face so the buyer could see what he was purchasing beforehand and confirm it was a legal copy of AutoCAD putting aside, for the moment, the legality of such a sale. You pays your money you takes your chances. If you are going to buy software, buy some you don't have to worry about. Those sales on ebay should fall under the old rule that "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is". Great product, relatively inexpensive compared even to AutoCAD LT. There is also a free version of DoublecadXT, but I like Draftsight better. If you only do 2d stuff, Draftsight is free and is a very good system. Remark's list is a good place to start and those programs will give you more functionality than any of those older versions of Autocad. It had gone out of production some years before. The owner of the shop said it was probably placed in an sample case by mistake, as it did get sold overseas, just not here. I was just selling off a bunch of junk I found in an upstairs closet for the shop. Nobody even remembered where it came from. They sent me an explanation of why they pulled the ad and curiously, even though I was working for a Motorola dealer at the time, even they didn't know they weren't supposed to sell that radio. I actually had them pull an ad I placed once for a piece of Motorola radio equipment that wasn't approved for use in the US. Ebay tries to keep illegal activity off the site, but with millions of users per day it's an impossible task.

He may have financed his upgrade by selling multiple copies of his old stuff. He may be telling the truth about it being "uninstalled" too. Just because the guy sells you a copy this week, doesn't mean he won't burn another identical copy and sell it to someone else next week. Whether it is legal or not, you run the risk of buying pirated software, just as Remark mentioned. People on both sides of the argument can supposedly produce court findings to support their positions. I'm no lawyer so I won't comment on that. There is much debate on the legality of buying used software.
