I find that the heavy speakers for how such a thing would work tend to not even bother checking out the ones that do it. Music pirates rarely check the free music, video pirates dont know where the free ones are, games pirates dont play free games. And even if they do, very VERY few have ever gone back and paid for it

Half a dozen, over the years. Even paid for some (donate button). It's not very adapted to games, publicity or patronage are way better.

Also I happen to be in the situation you've very rarely seen, as are most of the people I knew when I was studying : now that we have jobs we pay for stuff we pirated because we had no money to get it. It was not available at all without pirating, because of lack of money. I stopped now, since got money and a job. Most of my friends from back then also did. However, I don't generalize. I let professionals do that, and studies show... well I don't like to repeat myself.
