"But if you can download it for free, why pay?"
I'm sorry for my obviously dated view of the state of nature, but I think that this attitude is exactly what is wrong with EVERYTHING today. An artist puts some effort into producing a work. He makes the mistake of offering it up on the net or more likely someone else ripped it and posted it without the consent of the artist and with not a penny's payment. You come along and download the work with not the first thought of offering any payment to the artist. Worse, you strongly suggest this it is foolish to make any payment.
"Finders, keepers!"
"What is mind is mine, what is yours is negotiable!"
A pox on the entire "me first" generation(s).
