Work Step by Step

It is not ethical to copy the software for your own use, even if it is out of your price range. Ethical behavior involves respecting intellectual property rights and the rights of the creators or owners of the software. Copying the software without proper authorization is a violation of those rights, regardless of whether you would have purchased the software or not. It's important to respect intellectual property laws and support the creators by either purchasing the software or seeking alternative solutions within your budget.
