I regularly get attacked for saying this, but IMO the pricing model is all wrong. Where does the money paid for bandwidth eventually go? Bandwidth isn't a resource that costs so much per gigabyte to make, and I don't believe that users ought to be charged for consuming something that has no cost. Particularly not when it's the web site owner that pays, while it's the people who download that actually consume the bandwidth. So any popular site becomes a victim of its own popularity. Returning to the original post, yes and no. There's such a rush to put stuff in the market these days that a lot of stuff goes in that really isn't worth the asking price. So it won't sell, no big deal. The author would have done everybody include himself/herself a favour by sharing, though. On the other hand, some of the stuff in the marketplace really is of very high quality and very reasonably priced and I have no problem with that at all.
