What a fucking idiot. He / she could have sued them if he felt aggrieved instead of encouraging people to commit crimes.

Yet stealing someone’s art and selling it for a profit doesn’t seem to bother you.

Did I say that? Or did you just jump to that conclusion?

You seem to be making things up again. 😥

I don’t like people breaking the law, and I said I don’t think it was a good idea to encourage law breaking. Where in that did you take it to understand that I support theft or exploitation of artwork?
