Well, me and the layers I've talked to will then have to disagree with
you and the rest of the world.

Selling/distributing physical goods (like a computer) does not constitute
copying in our books and copyright does not apply.

Using the copyrighted software on the computer is a different matter.

This does not apply as this was about the rights to use the software
not about selling the computer or the media.
