that could be classed now as freeware so a Google search may well
supply a user that is willing to provide a copy.

This would be a clear case of piracy and the violation of copyright
held by the owner. Any attempts of others to provide "free" or "paid"
copies are violating that law.

Nothing is "clear" with respect to copyright.

I am quite sure that Brian Beazely "clearly" marked his product with
the necessary marks of intellectual property ownership.

If a library owns a copy and then makes another copy for patrons use

That never happens in any reputable Library. They have absolutely no
interest in supporting piracy.

you again get
into another murky area because that involves a exception area that is
not clear in substance.

There is nothing murky about copying Brian Beazely's product and
distributing it. You are not going to get a pirated copy from any
Library.
