Re:Obama Supports $675,000 File Sharing Verdict by robryan on Wednesday January 20, 2010 @04:12PM (#1065797)
Does anyone else have the same problem as me in this area? I am more than happy to pay for things, I just find it very hard to justify paying for some things that don't give any benefit over a one that I can get for free. So if they were to find a way to totally stamp out piracy or make it as likely to get punished for as taking goods from a store I'd be happy to pay for everything.

A good example is things like the WSJ, sure I probably don't read them enough to pay anyway, but the fact that you can just Google search things to not pay means that I would never see the value in paying.

I think when you feel that you are paying to support the content producer rather than to acquire the content something is wrong.
