When Radiohead released their album on a pay what you think it s worth basis, we saw (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/89204) that people are willing to donate some money to the downloads they obtain online. TorrentFreak reports (http://torrentfreak.com/when-pirates-pay-they-pay-good-080105/) that these people can often be quite generous with these donations. The news follows the release of Steal This Movie 2, the second part of a film about the history of filesharing. Although most people who are downloading the movie are doing so for free, those who are opting to pay are offering $15 and more for the film. There is some speculation that this is because of a promotional deal offering a free gift for donations of this amount but the film s producer says he believes that there s more to the generosity than this.
