It isn't the law you are trampling on. It is someone's (or some companies)
intellectual property rights.

Why not just put your name on "Living Machines" or Ian's drawings and start
distributing them as if they were your own? It really isn't any different,
and no amount of mealy mouthed self justification on your part will make it
any different. Tramplng on someone's rights can't be done just a little bit
any more than someone can be just a little bit pregnant.

Chances are that TLC won't make a big deal about it, but is that really the
point? I can only hope that someday you'll have some intellectual property
that has value just to see if you find it cute or permissable for someone to
rip off.
