But I still won't care that it is under copyright, I will simply feel aggrieved that the law is, again, an ass. As for why arxiv.org does it, perhaps they are taking a stand.

Compare the mass trespass on Kinder Scout organised by the British Workers' Sports Federation [1] and of course the suffragettes [2]. I'm not personally brave enough to take such direct action but I applaud those who do.
