Legally, it is illegal. Ethically, I think you're fine. If you pay for something you should be allowed to use the thing.
I feel like that basic interpretation of the law probably predates the code of Hammurabi.
That applies to things you legally own. Digitally purchased items are leased to you; you do not own them. So that cutout to copyright law does not apply to digital goods.
