Apparently you don't. Do you copy CDs and DVDs and distribute MP3s?

It's on topic as it relates to copyright infringement, which occurs with
alarming frequency in this newsgroup and is a violation of most nearly every
AUP. What you see as trivial -- spreading the copyrighted materials of others
without permission -- is patently offensive to authors like Ray Bradbury and
artists like Metallica because you steal and/or diminish the value of their
copyrighted works. There is no difference between stealing from them and
stealing from cookbook authors like Lindsay does.
