Is there anything above against the law, Hyman?
The only problematic step is copying the downloaded file
onto a distribution medium. It helps that Microsoft actually
instructs you to do this, but might be construed as being
the copy made in order to run the software. (The copy of a
program which is made in the computer's RAM is permitted
by copyright law, but you do not have first-sale rights in
it.)
It's the same with GPLed software. If you download it directly
onto a DVD, you have first-sale rights on the DVD. If you
download it to hard disk and then make a copy to a DVD, you
can distribute that DVD only under terms of the GPL.
