You don't have to look any further than muisc. Everybody is selling
songs for $1 a piece, yet there are still pirates who want to download
music for free. Although "free" is an attractive price point,
personally I get a sense of satisfaction when I pay for something,
especially when the seller has gone out of their way to give what I
want, no more, no less.
