But it's still making material freely available that should be paid for to start with.
What did you mean by "should"? Making information freely available is part of why Wikipedia exists and why Wikipedia is a good thing. Sharing information is not normally termed "piracy" when it does not transgress IP law.[1]
As far as I'm aware, the only general argument against exposure on Wikipedia is an ethical one (presuming we otherwise have reliable sources, don't copy and paste text etc.) But Wikipedia is not censored for the benefit of magicians.
