Cristian,

If you keep the DBpedia URIs in scope of Web User Agents, you are doing 
fine while breaking nothing re. DBpedia value contribution and attribution.

IMHO. problems arise when you dislocate DBpedia by using it as a Data 
Source and then minting your own URIs without any structured route back 
to DBpedia. Basically, "I Used DBpedia Data" or "DBpedia Powered" simply 
doesn't cut it since this is Literal attribution of a publicly available 
structured data source, one curated by the public indirectly via 
Wikipedia.  In similar vein, you will note that DBpedia pathways back to 
Wikipedia are granular and crystal clear (to humans and/or user agents).
