Haha, well put! That's a perfect analogy, kids have no problem downloading an album for free but would they shoplift that CD out of a store?
You're right the quality is what we pay for too.
And I have NEVER once downloaded a song for free for the reasons you say. How f***ing cheap do you have to be to not pay a buck for a song that you will potentially listen to for the rest of your life? The worst I ever did was accept a pirated CD of my favorite band because it was two weeks before release--when it came out, I bought the legitimate copy. I just wanted to hear it early.
Movies are even worse. Somebody spent literally $100+ million dollars to make something so you could be entertained for free? Really?
You're right again: anonymity reveals true human nature. Depressing.

I just did. If you're downloading songs for free, that is.
