There is an ethical consideration to bear in mind, however. I should be the one to talk, because, like everyone else, I am downloading copyrighted material which is - let's face it - a form of piracy. Yet I can justify my immorality because the stolen goods are for my personal use, and it's all in the name of "file-sharing" between "friends." (Criminals like I can make all sorts of justifications.)
When a site starts to charge money, directly making gains through other people's hard-produced property, that is crossing the line. I would consider shelling out a little more so that there's a chance some of that dough will land in the owner's pockets. I would not patronize a crook who profits off stolen matter.

TRUE my friend. I actually downloaded a few things from there only to find I needed a password. Lame. I kept them thinking I would pay at some point but just deleted them eventually. But for the desparate there is the opportunity. Shame on them for what they do.
