Well, I don't have any explicit copyright statements on my websites, so I don't think I can claim any legal copyright. Anyway, people are free to use the contents. Of course, thanks to my naivety, I didn't expect to see them being used this way.
In my opinion, it is not a question of whether it is legal or not. It is more about "being nice to your neighbours". I also buy free software on CDs and DVDs because it can save me download time and in most cases it will support the development. But selling a CDROM with 10 MByte of data, which can be downloaded for free... that's also an insult to the environment :-(
