Dude, honestly get a clue. If you really beleive that downloading Autocad (or any licensed, or at cost software) and using it without paying for it is legal, then you really are a off the deep end.
Your trying to justify software theft by using a dictionary definition? And even worse trying to justify it on a FISH forum. This HAS NO PLACE HERE! Take you argument to a warez board where like minded numbskulls muse about ripping off the man and his overpriced software. In the meantime, don't be suprised if somebody here is kind enough to let the BSA know about your opinions and the distinct possibility that you may have a computer full of stolen software.
IF YOU DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE AND USE IT WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT, YOU ARE STEALING. PERIOD.
Lets look at the facts:
To use the software (autocad in this case) you must have a valid license key. Lets look at how you can get one:
1) pay for it, like the rest of us.
2) find one on the internet and use it.
3) obtain a cracked version of the software that does not need a key
4) obtain a key generator or other tool to bypass the security.
The only LEGAL way to use the software is if YOU BUY A LICENSE, or otherwise conform the LICENSE AGREEMENT (option 1). Options 2,3,4 constitute illegal use of the software.
The saddest part is that your brazen enough to steal openly tell others how to do it in a public forum, all the while saying it's not theft.
It's not like your just ignorant of the fact that you need to pay for this stuff and can't donwload it. That would be excusable to an extent. Instead you have gone out of your way to make an arguement that it is not illegal to use pirated software. That shows thought and planning on your part and certainly means that your not ignorant of the law or the software licensing issue. You just choose to view it in your own reality.
Did you ever stop to think that some of the members here may be law enforcment folks. Some that may even specialze in computer crime and software theft?
Amazing!
