in reply to OT: Preserving Information

Republishing it without having rights for it (either because of the license, or because the copyright holder gave you permission) is IMO unethical. It's probably illegal as well, it seems a clear violation of copyright and license laws. It's certainly not very smart to do - we all rely on those laws to make "open source" work. Why give the entertainment industry ammunition for their crusade?

But making copies for you own purposes is fine. You are allowed to. But don't share without permission.
