Content not available for licensing is a justification for infringement? That doesn't ring true at all for me - exclusive content is often much more valuable to a business than content that's licensed. I doubt anyone would think that goldman sachs coverage being distributed by morgan stanley would fit under some "no harm, no foul" ethos even if Morgan significantly improved on the layout of the pages.

I don't agree with the infringement, I just think that boiling it down to "stealing" is too reductionist. The reality here is a bit more complicated.
Seriously, I think I am the only person who doesn't think it is OK to torrent Game of Thrones. :)

Is there a rock bottom hackernews will reach for leaning on shockingly bad analogies to make a point?
