The other side of the coin.....

So Ted goes to Rome to take professional pictures and finds there is a ( 
really high, way too high) fee for each exposure he takes
as a professional using the photographs in a professional way.  Ted decides 
to not pay the fee, but alternatively to act like a
tourist and get the pictures he wants, and uses in a professional capacity 
anyway......

Doesn't anyone see a problem with this approach?  Isn't there some 
professional ethical problem here?  

How is this different from the guy that steals Ted's photos and uses them 
himself to get an advertisement layout and not pay Ted a
dime?

Or did I misunderstand Ted's actions and intentions or professional 
photography ethics?

Where is BD when I need him?
