    Legally: No
    Ethically: Maybe.

    That said, posting this kind of question compromises the integrity of the vdr, its members, and moderators.

    A very odd question, you posted, Why not just do it and, not ask the question? But if you are looking for a legal loop hole. I guess if your sister gave you her pc, then you could legally do it, Then you got board with the pc, and gave it back. She would be entitled to what ever was on the pc you gave her.
