i completely disagree. you're just looking for an excuse for your actions.
i don't drive a porsche because i can't afford it (simple as that). if
everybody would think like you there would be no ADOBE very fast. and it's
so simple to argue that someone like mark knopfler and eric clapton anyway
have enough money (so they sure won't mind).

so basically you're saying that everybody that has more money then you do
will not be supported in any way by you because your the poorer chap (or
where do you put the line?)
