Funny, when these discussions come up, the one thing that's NOT discussed is the most salient one: Is it right to ignore the wishes of the OWNERS of the material.

It's an uphill battle to convince people that a performance or a photo might actually belong to someone the way a car or lawnmower might. When I produce a photo with my camera, the photo belongs to me just like my camera. Anyone can understand that to using my camera without my permission is theft but it seems the dimwitted can't understand that using a photo without my permission is theft also.
