Anything created with free work should be free in return. Anything created by the public should be available for the public.

To use an in-thread example - online forums are created with free work. Should all forums be forced to make their archives available for free download as well?

[kuschku]

For free download? No. Should I be able to scrape them? Yes.

[stolsvik]

Yes.

It's not free though. You get access to the forum.

If it was free then you wouldn't be doing them!
