XP on multiple systems

Well Juniper, I see it as standing up for my fair use rights, standing
up for what I believe in.

Then you apparently have no clear understanding of what "fair use"
really is, as a legal concept pertaining to copyrighted material.

TITLE 17 > CHAPTER 1 > § 107

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use

Release date: 2004-04-30

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of
a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or
phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for
purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including
multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an
infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work
in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall
include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is
of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the
copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the
copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of
fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above
factors.

Just exactly where, in the above text, does it state that
installing multiple copies of a software product on multiple computers
in one's home is not an infringement of the copyright? In fact, an
unauthorized second installation would clearly fail the both the (1) and
(3) test. More reading:

And your "what I believe in" tells you that it's fine to renege
upon an agreement into which you've freely and voluntarily entered? I'm
glad I will never have to do business with you. Does your mortgage
company know that you feel this way about contracts?

How does non-commercial home use fail test (1)?
If you don't use all the functionality of the software (and who does?),
how does home use violate test (3)?
