I seriously think it's just the Net. People feel that, hell, I'm ripping off some wo/man that's 2500 miles away, they can't/won't sue me, "[They are] protected" from retribution or legal action, so, eff it, they rip you off. That's my experience.

I think in any walk of life, some people will rip off what they think they are entitled too.
Examples include babysitting, crafts (because you weren't doing anything anyway), digital anything (for reasons you gave), etc.
Or pretty much any work done by hand.
I am sure you have heard this one: "since you don't have a "real" job, you should do this for me because I don't have the time and want it."
That one always got eye rolls.
Now the funniest thing I ever heard was "my children HAVE to watch the Disney channel."
I didn't need the babysitting money: she needed the babysitter because her unemployed husband couldn't watch the kids. (Someone might call him with a job offer.)
I just looked at the kids and said get back in the car. I can't babysit you.
Strangely enough, the kids had a fabulous time doing crafts and did not miss the Disney channel.
