Darius,
If you don't like something and want to critique it, then offer something of use, not simply an attack on everyone. It's clear Lynman has made every effort to bring things around to a more positive note, but you insist on being rude and you offer little of actual value. If your goal was to simply be a jerk, congrats, you succeeded. If your goal was to be a positive part of our overall community, you've got a ways to go.
Even if you're right, your message is lost in sarcasm and negativity. If you dislike the folks here so much, why bother to come here in the first place?
Lighten up. If you find a fault, offer useful and productive criticism, not the equivelant of name calling/attacks.
As for copyright infringement, it's never okay. In the US, it's 10,000 dollars per infringement plus damages. I don't know the law in the Phillipines, but US Copyright law is generally held as a credible precendence in all western societies so I'd be surprised in your law was much different. And of course, even if you COULD get away with infringement, why would you want to? Morally it's wrong regardless of the law.
Derivative works also require permission and licensing.
