I'm a'going to move this one to NOG, as it's turned into a rather tiresome argument about the ethics of pirating.

That's not strictly true though is it? I mean, the person selling still no doubt has to pay upload costs and if it's their own site, all the costs that come with running it. If you can't afford to buy the latest album or you don't want to pay for it then you shouldn't have it.

Depends on where it’s hosted. Most digital retailers will just take a cut of sales instead of an up-front cost. Plus most piracy will take place on external hosting run by neither the developer nor the storefront, so the cost of hosting isn’t a factor.
