Just how do you expect us to "address" the fact that its illegal?  I'm sorry, 
but we're not just going to ignore the law and hope "The Man" doesn't notice.

But aside from that, principles are important, and our distribution is based 
on those principles.  We can't be everything for everyone, and trying to be 
so is a losing battle.  There are some legal ways of getting some things onto 
your system, but we are not in the business of being enablers.  There are 
fundamental reasons we don't include some software, nor make it "easy" to 
access.
