you can't beat free given the choice between paying and getting it for free is self explanatory their fighting an uphill battle that get harder for them the public doesn't care whether it legal or not all they want is their movie or software or games that they can get for nothing who the heck want to pay for anything? paying mean you have to earn it the hard way by sweating at the workshop for the greedy owner.
but i pay taxes, i pay for food , pay for cloths ( mostly ) i pay for my hardware and there's a MS tax on that i pay for my internet
so what exactly is free in a throttled , capped , and user base billed universe?
