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.
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.

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.
