I'll say it again.  If you don't agree with the reasons, and don't
want to use it yourself, no one is asking you to do it.  But, I've
edited the SQL data and dumped it, then reloaded it in another system.
 The Aussies manually edit data, it'd just be another way for them.
People get data into their databases in other ways also (EIT for one).

I won't say those are legal, IANAL.  But you asked why anyone would,
and I think there are several reasons.
