Thank you for making that point.  (I was thinking that.  I was also
thinking:  "In general, how is the copyright holder even going to find
out, let alone care?")

There are any number of legal issues people are curious about that will 
probably never be adjudicated because nobody cares enough to pay for the
legal costs -- and this seems like a classic.
