Actually, plenty of respondents have argued about not paying... and when arguing about the details, take the position that "if those details aren't to my liking, I'm justified to take it." (I think they call that Mob Morality.)
Anyway, no, we're not there yet. However, it's clear to me that without pesky things like copyright laws and DRM, we would be there right now...
I concede the second point... I mis-read and missed the actual point you were making. I have yet to try the "free download, pay my if you like" method, though I've considered it a few times. Generally I haven't done it, specifically because of those (admittedly anecdotal) reports.
