Yes, the package I use sells about 30k copies a year. So some people must
be using it.

I use a mouse for drawing 2D sketches (as do most other people I know), it's
most intuitive given that it's what you use for every other operation like
this in other software. For panning/zooming (and rotating when in 3D) I use
a 3D mouse with my left hand though.

Tons of peoples use those. AutoCAD is a huge one. Started 2D only, then added
faked 3D, then 3D primitives and modeling. Professional use only at over $6000
per workstation/user, unless you have a pirated version...

A tablet futuristic? It's over 20 years old!

I guess it's a fairly specialist application area... (Specifically, if
you're not designing anything, you probably won't need it!)

Well, *computers* were regarded as "futuristic" for a very long time
after they were invented - mainly because almost nobody owned one. ;-)
I was half-expecting a dataglove...

Engeenering, civil engeiniring, architecture, interior planing... Also
acoustics, stage planing and some more.
I have a brother who use it dayly for his work and use a "piked-up" version as a
hoby. The maker realy don't mind that, as long as you don't use that copy for
anything professional.
They made a "light" version that you can have for less than 5% of the price of
the regular version, made for those who can't "borrow" a copy from work. It's a
few versions behind.

Do you mean he is "picking up" the license at home from the license server
at work? That is totally legal and the whole point of having a central
license server - I do it all the time for both professional and hobby work.
And even if you don't have an internet/VPN connection to the license server,
you can "check out" a license and use it for up to 30 days standalone
(obviously nobody else can use the license during this period).

Borrow the installations floppies(before)/CD(now) and install it localy at home
or on his portable.
There is NO registration procedure at all, No serial number to enter, and you
can leave all identification, but the name, blank. The name can be any 1 or more
leters.
Autodesk don't mind. They know very well that they will never sell the regular
version to individuals. They also know that an individual who have a "gray" copy
may induce some administrators to buy many licences. Increasing the user base is
the key word.

All sounds pretty high-end to me. :-)

'Cause not everyone has a proper job :)
Now-a-days I file electronic paper instead of moving oil barrels from one end of
the rig to another.

Two is greater than four for sufficiently large two. ;-)
