Actually, that is not what it is about (free vs. paid). It's, well, no
notion of ethically correct, or even acceptable or understandable behavior.

There is, in fact, no sense of guilt connected to copyright
infringement. Not even in nations that should know better, and where
infringement *is* prosecuted, like the US or Germany.

Well, I have faith that karma will balance the equation. Always does.
