You're saying — if we distill it into a general rule — that if it saves 10 man-hours of work, copyright infringement is right.
While I personally disagree with copyright on principle, I'm not sure if you've fully considered the ramifications of your argument.
10 man-hours of work, at minimum wage, is about the price of a video game right now.
Your argument would mean piracy of video games is pretty much always right
