I never said it was okay, only that we need to think about WHY its wrong and maybe factor in other considerations. When you were a kid, did you ever see something that to this day still inspires you? Did you need to know that the creator authorized you to look at it to be inspired? Probably not. There is a benefit in works being distributed. Does it necessarily outweigh the creator's rights? certainly not, but I just don't think its wise to immediately get angry and shout 'LAWSUIT! DMCA! MINE MINE MINE', instead of looking at the situation as a whole. Is that really so awful of me?
