Agreed. And from my experience the willingness of a person to pay depends on the person, no their objective evaluation of the fairness of the price. In other words if you're filthy rich you'll be more inclined to pay for even overpriced software, and if you're dirt poor you'll be more inclined to pirate even cheapo software.<p>I saw this firsthand in a friend who, after getting a job, decided to start paying for software. I do the same thing. If I have money, I'll pay for a song, otherwise I listen on youtube and keep the tab there for the next 6 months.
