You are aware of the laws of the country you live in. You can ignore those laws, but you may suffer the consequences. No matter what the laws are, no matter if you think they are right or not. There's no mystery involved in this. We can debate whether the laws should change, and that's fine. But you can't claim that you "innocently overheard" my telling of a story - in your scenario, you are actively violating the law. So go find another story teller - one who won't sue you. It's not like it's hard to find them. Don't like the quality as much? So, sponsor the community that won't sue you. Do a Kickstarter. Use Flattr. Share on FB or G+ interesting artists.
