"If you are going to enjoy the product, you should be respectful of the artists that made it, not just assuming you can take it and enjoy it."
I think you have inadvertently revealed your true nature.
artists make art
manufacturers make product
If you consider what you create a product then don't force me to pay for it, that is wrong
If you consider what you create art then you put it out there an hope that others will appreciate your creation and support you so you can continue to create.
If no one supports you then either get a different means of supporting yourself or self select out of the gene pool.
I prefer unspoiled. Sometimes I like to try to anticipate, sometimes I just am lazy and want to enjoy it as it unfolds, either way I prefer it unspoiled.

1: btr1701 compared YOU to the one guy at the party yelling
2: you responded that you were yelling because it is your house
3: I countered with no it is not your house you are the homeless person that the party guests took pity on.
4: you made some kind of quantum leap to the rich and powerful and threw in a freetard and Masnick for good measure.
Now while it is possible that you are in fact one of the "rich and powerful the people who control the country" your deportment on this site, your willingness to stoop to name calling, and the general lack of critical thinking skills you demonstrate over and over again tend indicate you are not.
Indeed if we just add a little bit more, then everyone will have enough money and no one will need to work anymore we can all spend every waking hour on the internet reading what everyone else is writing.
Wait that sounds vaguely familiar...scratches head

TechDirt readers are not common.
In fact that is one of the things that kind of upsets me when people here talk about editing your host file etc... common people have no clue what that means, so when DHS takes away a domain name even though the site exists elsewhere for common people it is gone and once they see the scary DHS warning in place of the website the delete all memory of the site from their minds and their computers.
