I know I'm going to get downvoted for saying this, because I always do, but you guys do realize that there's a legitimate basis for the legal claim against them right?

99.99% of what they do is fantastic, but honestly I think it was really fucking stupid for them to archive copyrighted material and allow for distribution without following proper legal procedures.

We need to change the laws for sure, but in the meantime, if you are a company, don't expect to be able to distribute copyrighted materials for free without permission from the copyright holder, that's fucking stupid.

I agree 100%. They do extremely important work, but this was extremely shortsighted and a bad judgment call on their part.

Must be a pirate convention on the high seas today or something because nobody seems to be downvoting me this time around.
