While I don't agree with your choice of words (but let's not go into that again!), I do agree with your sentiment. That Logseman chooses to give away his translations and other work, in no way justifies his use of other people's work without their permission.
And it make be worry a bit about his translations - are the works he's translating and giving away his to give away? Hopefully he's only doing so with out-of-copyright works, or with the permission of the original author.
Logseman: You make your work available under the condition that people keep your attribution. You'd presumably be upset if someone took your work, stripped your name, and passed it off as their own work? i.e. if someone broke the conditions you've set for distribution of your work?
Can't you see that other authors will be equally annoyed with your for taking their work without payment, if that's a condition that they have set for the distribution of their work?
