And before I get the lecture of "you're stealing", all of what I've published (translations, mainly) is under the conditions of a Creative Commons 3.0 licence which allows unfettered use of the text and only puts a condition to identify its source. Abiding to that, I won't download anything whose author is not clear in the specs or the metadata. I want to know who did what I like, and hope that if someone likes my work they'll want to know who did it.

So because you decide to give your work away you feel that gives you the right to steal from others.
Sheesh.
