No! Don't do that. You'll just make yourself a target. The "Spartacus" defense doesn't actually work in real life.

The RIAA is the industry licensing group for a multi-billion dollar industry. They have the resources to go after everyone who claims ownership of the code, and copyright damages under the DMCA are no laughing matter: they could drive you into bankruptcy or saddle you with debts for the rest of your life, precluding home ownership, paying for your children to go to college, retirement, etc.

FWIW, there are some people who laugh joyously at matters that you don't laugh at.
