If software is not open source, such as Windows and Microsoft Office, they don't have the freedom to modify it and redistribute it to friends. This is a basic freedom in free software. Of course one can also speak about the legal issues related to software - copying and redistributing software legally and illegally. By the way you can also speak about copying other files, such as music and videos - legally and illegally. Speak about eMule and Bit torrent (I use utorrent) - how you can use them do download music and films, and the fact that in many cases this is illegal in most countries. But also that one can use them to distribute original files legally, without having to pay for bandwidth and servers.
