Because legally it would be considered "pirated software".Pirated Software is s phrase utilized to portray the demonstration of illicitly utilizing, replicating or disseminating programming without ownership or lawful rights. Replicating that product to various PCs or offering it to your companion without numerous licenses is known as software piracy, which is unlawful. In the given case Mike does not possess legal rights to distribute that software to anyone hence falling under software piracy.
