That doesn't make it acceptable for you to completely ignore their copyright on that material.

  I agree, it's not the paywall that makes it acceptable.

    "Information wants to be free" doesn't justify that you should ignore their copyright just because you can easily ignore their paywall with little consequence to yourself.

      I agree, the paywall being easy to ignore with little consequence to oneself is not what justifies ignoring their copyright.

        Ah, is this one of those things were copyrights don't matter since you aren't a musician, director, writer, etc? And software should be paid for? Or if you open source your work then there is no problem me incorporating that into my closed source project, since copyright doesn't matter?

          I don't want to pollute this thread with an offtopic discussion. If you want to talk about it feel free to send me an email, it's on my profile.

          That would be fine if there was no copyright. GPL use is only useful as long as copyright exist: should it not exist then GPL is not just not useful anymore but not needed at all! I'd just disassemble what you did and release it as open source again :D

  It does, however, make it inevitable that it would happen.
