This isn't safe, as some countries have more economic rights than this. 
E.g. I think, for the UK, one would need to add "Use" in relation to a 
computer program.  You need to be a "lawful user before you can make a 
temporary copy of a program, in memory, as I understand it.

<https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/50A> sub-clause 2.

<https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/50C>

<https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/17> sub-clause 6.

<https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/28A> excludes 
programs from exemption.

Again this is my interpretation, and shouldn't be taken as authoritative.
