He probably does and that just proves how stupid people are about copyright law.

They've been lulled into certain beliefs about copyright because of piss poor enforcement.
They've gotten away with it all their life, so they don't think they are breaking any laws.

But in the end it's like speeding :The fact that cops let other people speed down my
street for 50 years doesn't mean I will not get a speeding ticket when I do it yourself.

I like the phrase I have seen in some apartment leases where it says :

"Failure of management to enforce rules in no way invalidates any rules, nor prevents
the future enforcement of any rules".

That's what selected individuals are experiencing when they get busted for
copyright violations. They can't understand why they are prosecuted and nobody
else was. LOL! Nobody else got that speeding ticket either.




On the other hand, the people who "don't get it" actually do "get something".
They "get it" that they can use that material and there is a "long shot in hell" that
anyone will ever do anything serious about it.

Note : A "long shot in hell" that strikes the temple will probably be fatal.
