When deciding whether or not use someone's art without their permission, it behooves one to consider the ethics. Whether you come to a different conclusion than I do is whatever, but not every case is exactly the same, and to dismiss the people on the other side of the equation with made-up numbers pulled from thin air is not the proper way to go about it.
The argument doesn't really hinge on the made-up numbers, it would be the same if you swapped 10% in there.
You’re ignoring the substance of my argument.
And if the numbers don’t matter, then why are you making up such low ones to give the appearance of a group of people/cost that does not matter? Come on man. This is a tactic and you know it.
