Unethical to perform tricks you've figured out?

Most of these companies just say that because they will not profit from any of this. Take DarkSleightz for example, many people create many variations to the effects performed by Mark. Personally, I think it should be encouraged, since most of the effects are not for sale anymore. If an individual takes an effect and tries to figure it out themselves, and replicates it, then I think that is just making it "your own" in a sense. Isn't that what magic is supposed to be? Creativity is the limit, not phony copyright laws.
