And there's the gamble, isn't it? Copyright violation only exists when the
copyright holder takes you to court about it. So if one feels the odds are
that the holder no longer exists, or is in the business, then this becomes a
reasonable gamble. But the stakes are potentially high if one misjudges and
loses the 'bet'. So, I think we're all just trying to hedge our 'bet' here.
(Besides all of us wanting to do the right thing.)
