Again I agree with you, but you have to understand that it is a product and item a thing. You can't sell it and keep it at the same time. That is the ethics of the situation. That is the thing I object to. If you sell it and sell it in total that's fine and dandy, but if you sell it or give it away and keep it for yourself then you are a thief -- IMO.
I just want people to DO the Right Thing. Do as you would expect to be done to.
