Why the copyright violation?

27 September 2004, 16:56

Why did you repost the whole article, when:

the terms of use (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/services/site/terms.html)
explicitly prohibit redistribution, and

the full text is freely available without registration or limitations at the original URL?

What is the benefit of such a copyright violation? It damages the original site
(subtracting traffic, that is banner views) without any advantage for the end users
