I walked over to my local hardware store this morning to find a tube fitting, but they didn't carry the size I needed. Rather than drive to a big box store, I went to McMaster-Carr's website and found the fitting, downloaded their 3D model of it, and printed one in about an hour.

While I would never download a car, in this case I downloaded a Carr. Is this still unethical?
