this time it was over old stuff that's not for sale somehow, so I don't see how that's hurting any company.

The "clue phone" does not ring at a corporate company's office. What people have learned years ago is that online communities and offerings over the internet actually _increase_ sales because they expose people to the material, which they then obtain legitimately (or would, if it were available--*roll eyes*).

But this does not occur to the suit! *shaking finger* "Hey, now, that material is copyrighted! We deserve to make back our x% for having put up the money to produce it, even though we made our profit back years ago, and have no intention of marketing it again ever you are WRONG WRONG WRONG so I will erase all your links just to make the point, you evil little free-promotion-that-will-ultimately-benefit-me person."

You can't tell I have an opinion on this, can you? :) Good luck on the new account, and the stealth account when you get that set up. Cheers.
