“What if, for example, you ordered yourself microsoft office, and your computer crashes, and you have to reinstall it? Is that assur?“
I’ve done so myself multiple times.
“That is also like software copying, or better yet, you install microsoft office on multiple computers in your house, using one cd instead of spending hundreds of dollars on as many packages as you have computers and laptops in your house.“
Not at all. Reinstalling software on a crashed computer in what everyone does, with the vendors’ OK. Nobody would buy from a vendor who refused to allow a reinstall.
Here are some issues and potential issues that I see with copying:

BTW, I recommend “Open Office” instead of Microsoft Office.
It works great, and it’s free.
