Regardless. If you think it is wrong and should be brought to the attention of someone who can do something about it it is probably best not to blatantly stuff it into the portal. Otherwise everyone who sees it come through the portal will then know how to take advantage of it before the problem is fixed. That is what I think.
Have a nice day.

It is NOT illegal. Don't know where y'all got THAT from. Hell, I've downloaded my own .swf's off of Newgrounds when I lost the originals.
It IS, however, a prickish thing to do without the explicit approval of the author. Also, seeing as downloading it prevents Newgrounds from getting a hit and the associated ad money that keeps it running, there's no reason anyone with a stable internet connection should want to. No reason at all to not simply watch it online, or to just link a friend to it so Newgrounds gets the hit.
So yeah, in terms of legality, it's about as illegal as using an adblocker (as in, not at all). However, Wade also doesn't like anyone talking about how to block ads (and he once wrongly claimed that it could be illegal before realizing his mistake and declaring discussing it a bannable offense), so he might delete the flash anyway if it's brought to his attention.
