Well said that all the softwares available on net can not be given in digit due to legals issues. This is true only when u are talking of underground sites like phaze and rapidshare etc. I think there is no legal issue involved when demo versions of softwares are available for download on their official websites. Please chech the official sites of cyberlink, intervideo, Nero, Roxio, Pinnacle, Sony & Ulead etc. Most of the demands are for softwares from these companies. There are lot many nice softwares available on their official sites for demo download. Therefore, you can not simply take shelter of legal issues.
