Total Commander–installation is forbidden other people?

I live in Russia. Recently I have installed programs on 5 computers. Except other programs, I have established and Total Commander7.01 Shareware , downloaded with an official site.
Money certainly for installation I took, but I have not sold Total Commander, I have established it in general free of charge. I did not crack it it and did not apply false keys. Has established ordinary Shareware from an official site.
Money I took for the spent time. I established and adjusted many programs that day and have in total worked 9 hours.
After installation, to me have shown police certificates, and have now got an administrative offence under article 7.12 KOAPRFи now to me punishment in the form of the penalty threatens: 240 USD.
I professionally am engaged repairs and adjustment of computers. And now I had to go much on departments of police and Offices of Public Prosecutor. And everywhere there they have computers on which stolen system WindowsXPZver http://zvercd.com/ activated vol. keys. A key and stolen programs from the same assemblage Zver http://portal.etherway.ru/uploads/posts/2008-09/1220587103_wpi1.jpg Or other assemblages stolen Windows : WindowsXP extreme, Windows XP Samlab, etc...I understand all assemblages and at once I see that is established on the computer.

Respected Christian Ghisler, answer, please on following questions:

1.Whether you consider, what I have broken your copyright, having established YOURS Shareware file manager?
2.Whether you consider such installation illegal?

Once again I will repeat that I have installed your program downloaded from your site. And, I promoted distribution of your program, that is I have actually found to you the buyer who will probably buy it after the expiry of the term of free use. I took money for the time, for the work. I did not sell your program … But our Russian police, itself using the stolen software, considers that have dexterously caught me on software sale.

P.S.
I am sorry, if in some places it was expressed it is inexact, has translated from Russian into English by means of the machine translator of PROMT.

You may want to ask for help with your translation (on http://forum.wincmd.ru/ perhaps?) and send a personal e-mail to Christian Ghisler (e-mail address at the bottom of http://www.ghisler.com/faq.htm).

If I understand you correctly, you are asking whether or not it is allowed to install Total Commander for other people. Personally I would think that that is just fine. But I am no expert in this matter, nor have I seen your contract.

I think he is asking that since he got paid for installing TC for 5 users, did he violate any copyright stuff by including it with other questionable programs. It is still something only Mr. Ghisler will be able to answer.

I think the question is if Christian considers it illegal to install trial versions of TC and get paid for the work.

Hi Roman !

In the Help :

¤ Shareware dealers are allowed to sell the Shareware version for a small fee (around CHF / US$ 10.-).

• Installing in addition is a work, it's worth a payment since time is spent…
… and Time is Money, isn't it ?

I would question more the programs that were being installed along with it.

[ghisler(Author)]

It depends on whether they are just demo versions, or cracked versions. Installing and using the demo version is of course not illegal. I also allow people to use the demo version (with the 1-2-3 buttons) longer than 30 days if they can live with it, and the registration costs a considerable amount of their salary (which is the case for many Russians). However, when someone is using a crack he is actively avoiding the registration, he is actively violating the copyright, which the police will surely notice quite easily.

So better don't do that, or apply the 11th commandment (don't get caught ).

The MS Office Russian versions is what made me think smething was up. Plus, if the cops are involved, it is just more than demos.

And you mean the 12th Commandment. The 11th is "Thou shalt ALWAYS get a pre-nup".
