WRT to people paying for stuff they can download for free, the Canadian singer Jane Siberry did an interesting experiment where she offered her whole catalogue for DRM-free download off her website under a 'pay what you think it's worth' system. She found after several months that less than 20% of the people were choosing to pay nothing, and of the 80%+ who were VOLUNTARILY paying even though they did not have to, about half of those were paying MORE THAN the suggested amount.
