well, its obvious some of us have severe angst regarding software piracy.
just keep it low profile and do not do it to the point of making the company lose a lot of money...
legend has it that someone from MIT attempted to turn himself in for software piracy. he said that he felt guilty for finding out that he had a pirated copy of ms-office on his computer. he called the software piracy hotline, who referred him to the local police, who referred him the state office, who referred him to the local courts, who referred him to microsoft.
The student's point in making the home made video is that nobody really cares much about software piracy as long as it does not get to the point wherein the company loses money for its intellectual property. So if you wanna use the same copy of software...go ahead!... just dont do it to often and try to do it for "educational purposes" only.
