Spending your own money to buy ingredients and equipment, becoming an event vendor and making waffles for free is not the same as making a copy of something that other people have created and then making it available for free.

No body is stopping people from using their own money to acquire recording equipment, write/record/produce a track and make it available for free. Of course that would not be illegal... and neither is giving away your own waffles.

As amusing as this waffle story is, I fail to see how it can be compared to illegal file sharing.
