Here's a question for all you internet piracy guru's.

I used to work for a VERY large software company, on a VERY popular product. Everytime our team released a new version of the software, everybody on the team would get a free copy or two of the software, fully boxed, wrapped and labeled, just like if you were to pick it up at the store.

I have since been laid off from the company (thank you economy! grrrr) and have 3 copies of the popular, expensive software laying around doing nothing. They are all still wrapped in the box and untouched.

So my question is this...Can I sell this software on EBay? Or will I get in trouble from my former employers and/or the law?

Many thanks for any responses. I could really use the money for some new toys!
