I agree that the attitude which some torrent users have (feeling good when they actually pay for things) is annoying.

However, nobody can deny that computers and the internet have irreversibly changed the game. It is simply no longer default that one must purchase information. Information doesn't want to be free, it just is free (for better or for worse).

I don't believe it was ever default that one must purchase information.

Hell, the ability to read meant you were upper class much more than a fleet of private jets towed by gold-plated BMWs.
