Just because something is breaking a law, doesn't change the definition of "free." If you transfer ownership of a tangible or intangible product to me to use at my own digression with no reciprocation of resources or services, I am obtaining it from you for FREE, irregardless of whatever means you used to initially obtain the product.

So, again, you're argument is one of semantics. But based on the definitions of "free" it seems to fit the bill.

Not really sure where you're finding fault with this concept.
