@Xephier, this is a sore spot with me, because I work in the Arts, so I’ve seen the effects of beliefs like yours in many people. They only see the reproduction side of it, but I see the whole picture. It’s not about the reproduction; it’s about the creation of it in the first place.
There may be no cost to reproducing digital media, but it costs a lot to create it before it goes digital.
Why do so many people expect someone in a creative profession to work for free?
And just because “everybody’s doing it” doesn’t make it right.
The exceptions for me are things that are only available that way. Like an out-of-print book, a TV show or film that is only on YouTube or in another country.
