not everyone, actually, I prefer micro-payments for websites, if i don't ahve to watch ads etc. If there is a place where it's possible to donate, and take advantage of its services, i donate. it's that simple, because i ould expect other ppl to do so too.
the everything-must-be-free thins has a bad side: ppl are less willing to actually pay for things that do cost money, like commercial software or music and simply download it on bittorrent etc. They lose the sense for the worth.
The File Planet example: yes, i'm looking for another download location, because for example gamershell (or beyondunreal for unreal files
) is cheaper. sometimes i would pay like 5 cent for a download to take 2 instead of 4 hours or something, but i don't want to pay a monthly fee.any yes, if there would be a "donate" button in the beyondUnreal Fileworks, i would already have donated. If everybody would think like that, every service could be free in theory, so ppl who require it can take it for free, andppl who can pay are paying an adequate amount.
when i've been to south africa, i noticed, that there were bowls for the coins in many stores, where everybody was allowed to put coins, if he could spare, and take coins if he needed them. They were all filled to the rim!
but yes, in the internet most pl don't think like that and want the total Information/product overkill for absolutely nothing.
