What delicate balance or compromise?

You are advocating sticking it to authors and just taking their stuff. All this has nothing to do with the "rights of the public". Those are just silly excuses, you are too cheap to pay, don't want to use free alternatives, and don't give a damn about those who worked for you. And since you have a reasonable expectation of getting away with it you even seem proud of that fact.
