No, I think not. Just because a fruit is in a position to be plucked,
doesn't mean you have the right to pluck it, especially if you have to
trespass to do so.
Example: Libraries are full of books. Therefore, the books are available
to be read. They are not available to be copied, however, even though
the technology is right there in the library to do so.
The RH can give themselves permission to upload their content to the
net, but that does not imply that the AH has the right to download that
content.
Of course, IANAL, YMMV, yadda yadda yadda.
