So you think it is legal to abuse a licence as long as you are not told personnaly that your use is not tolerated by this licence that you have received and deliberately ignored?
Hmmm... Then take the same decision about all other protected contents, and copy and publish it as you want, and assume the risk yourself.
A licence does not require to inform you that you are abusing it. The licence already contains provisions that you have already approved. By not following its terms, you are breaking a contract, so you can be legally the object of a judiciary procedure, without being told first that you break the law. In fact youalready knw that you are breaking the law when you break a contract unilaterally.
note: the LimeWire licence is not "GLU" (???) but the GPL, i.e. the General Purpose Licence published by the GNU Foundation.
