I do not think that this reason is good enough. Not giving it to people is clearly against the wish of a lot of people who are interested in getting it. The only reason not to do it is that it is possible that the law forbid it and if that is the law then it is a bad law because a law should be clear and it is clear that a lot of people believe that it is legal to share something that they downloaded from the internet withut agreeing to restrictions. I think that authors should expect people who download a program to share it so if they do not like it they should not give it to people except limited team of beta testers that they trust. Uri
