There is nothing wrong with using freeware fonts, even if they resemble fonts that are commercially available. What >is< wrong is setting sloppy type, whether on a web page, a billboard, on TV or in print. Well-known type houses have for years sold typefaces that are direct knock-offs of known designer faces. Bitstream is a prime example.
