What?!?!?  Are you serious?  This is terrible advice.  Just because we
don't like their business model does not give us the right to steal from

How can we expect people to abide by the GPL if we don't respect their
licensing terms?  Stealing proprietary software is exactly as immoral as
proprietary vendors ripping off GPL'ed code.
