Years ago I needed a HP service manual for a plotter I was trying to repair that I owned. HP of course wouldn't let me have it, so I had to buy a PDF copy from someone on eBay. I ended up removing the password and posting it on my website.

That's called "stealing".

No it's not. At *worst* you're voilating the copyright of someone elses copyright violation. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS. NOT. THEFT. This is not my opinion, it's decided case law by the Supreme Court.

The more of it turned free, the better.

True, but you can't just take the law into your own hands.

Well until we get together enough people together to buy a Senator or three like the likes of Disney does, we're not left a whole lot of options.
