I offer videos on YouTube where anyone can view them - including "freeloaders". I have no problem with that. I also have material on my website where I note it is offered with *no* restrictions. I do *request* that if my material is used that the person using it be kind enough to let me know and, if it fits into their project, to give me credit (but if not that is OK... and that is a *request*, not a condition of use). So, sure, I have "freeloading parasites" use my material - with my blessings.
I have no problem with people doing so *with permission*.

No problem. And while we do not fully agree, you "debate" and discuss in a reasoned way and I have respect for you.
