IANAL, but I have a distinct recollection that Microsoft couldn't
use the music they wanted to use to introduce Win95, because the
copyright owner didn't like micky mouse software.
If you think redistributing material that is available free, does
not carry consequences, ask some of the newspapers that published

Still a copyright violation. The owner may not want the
material to be redistributed. And under European Law, the
original creators wishes _can_ and usually do prevail. Under
US Law, the owner's wishes usually prevail.
