It doesn't matter in this case. You run that risk when buying it. My point was that it is possible to assign worth to something even when you don't know everything about it. That worth assesment might change over time, when more knowledge is acquired, but part of buying something, is that you run the risk of getting disappointed (or pleasantly surprised).
Anyhow.. I do think the current business model does not work very well with regards to selling digital content, I do think that most copyright infringeing up- and downloading is a symptom of this flawed model, but I don't think customers have some inherent 'right' to that content unless they've paid for it.
