the people who refuse to contribute for art and get thin gs for free, do it because they are used to leech, and thats just another version of piracy and theft.
If you get an art form, music or comedy or whatever, you have to pay. people who dont do that, dont do it because they're spoiled. they have money buit use it for other things. supporting and not being a cheap fuck isnt even in their head.
talk about this with someone who does that and theyll come up with all excuses on how they're "poor"/"broke" and wouldnt spend even 50 cents for that.
if you allow people to be cheap fucks, they will. furether point, im almost convinced that the digitsl version of KATG stuff is passed around or torrented. its not economy, its people who are disrespectful shitheads.

I should have said I like the pay what you can model because I have ethics about it and always try to be fair and give/ purchase when I can.
I do know people that completely take advantage of getting everything for free and won't even seed torrents lets alone pay for things. You are right about those people, there is no convincing them otherwise.
