ok so let just make sure we are clear about your fabricated situation
even if thoses commercials were left in place, the content producer would not have been paid
putting your own commercials would not get you any money either (see above)
such a file would be rejected by the free market, and therefore die a miserable death
so basically should you have a right to waste your time in a pointless excersise that will gain you no income and cost the copyright holder no income
sure why not
you want to be stupid go ahead.
now if the copyright holders were getting paid for that distribution, then it would be a different story.
