I have fonts installed on my computer that I received from a boxed CorelDraw! Install in probably 1993. These have names like "Swiss721" and were created by Bitstream as visual clones of Helvetica or Times.
Visual cloning of fonts is technically legal and has a long standing tradition. But "While technically not illegal, font designer John Hudson would describe its selling of large numbers of typefaces on CD at discount prices as "one of the worst instances of piracy in the history of type"."
