if it's ethical to take the food, then it's not stealing.

It's ethical if you can get away with it?

Walter Shewhart: "Data is meaningless without context."

These kind of questions are meaningless - as is economics - if you don't know the full context, or HOW that context came to be.

An update of Shewhart's maxim is that "The meaning of data tracks access to the context flow."

How does context apply to remote sensing data? It boils down to how the sensors were calibrated. Even without calibration, the data could have some usefulness.

Fully calibrated RS data is only as useful as the techniques that are employed to extract information. Granted, some of these techniques are still in the experimental stage.
