Not the legal situation - you are still bound by contact. It is true, however, that MS is reducing the number of images they maintain, so the likelihood that the image you're licensed to have and the image someone is giving you are in fact the same image, is increasing dramatically. In other word

Not AFAIK.  Fair Use only comes into play with "published" material that is publicly available, and only covers copyright. 1) ms media aren't publicly published, from a legal standpoint 2) as you mentioned, contract law governs this, not copyright law. -Adam On Jan 15, 2014 11:22 AM, Robert Keize

I agree with Mark on most of what he said, except not all ISOs are infringement. In university I remember needing to install Windows for a course and the Engineering tech support giving us a key and a link to Microsoft's own MSDN website where we could download the ISOs and burn our own copies.
