Hi,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I don't profess to be an expert (on most things) but find this site a valuable resource which should be respected and appreciated.
One of the issues I think people have is the line between 'self sufficiency' and 'greed' and where people sit on that line. I think it's unreasonable to expect everything to be free (whether that be produce, information, courses etc...) but by the same token I can well appreciate why people cry foul when they see $40+ charge for a pdf document. We all want to feel like we're getting value for money and sometimes the product itself needs is just as important as the information contained within, however useful or valuable that information is.
Bottom line though is that if you don't want to pay for it for whatever reason then don't buy it - it really isn't a difficult concept. IMO anyone who abuses someone else for whatever reason is contravening ethic 2 which is care of people. We are all adults and should be able to have rational debate about difference of opinion etc... without name calling.
