Just because it's written on this site that it is, doesn't make it so. As Michael pointed out, you're getting the regular version without paying for it. It'd be nice if there was a link to a reputable news agency saying this was legal, or some actual legal analysis. Otherwise, the legality of this is very suspect. Who says it’s LEGAL to do this?
