Hi Tom,
It is illegal. Doesn't matter if you are selling it. there are plenty
of people giving my things away. go check with a copyright lawyer,
and if you really don't think it's illegal, ASK THE OWNER OF THE
COPYRIGHT. That is how things are done. It's not a grey area, it's
just a self serving point of view.
I always find these self serving rationalizations humorous.
