When you snatch and grab on the internet, the cops don't come after you.

I was one of the people who downloaded everything years ago -- but I've been trying harder as time goes on to go into my wallet for my music, software and games. I just know that I'm not helping the creators of my digital entertainment make more of that media I love, if I just steal it all the time.

When everyone adopts that attitude, people will start paying more. I don't expect that to happen.
