I really don’t mind trading my money for value I receive. It doesn’t offend me.

As someone who has run businesses himself, I like being part of an economy where I can buy and sell things.

I don’t resent other people pirating stuff, and I don’t resent free services. I don’t mind donation-supported services. And I don’t mind paid services.

I guess it’s just who I am. I don’t really mind any kind of consensual economic arrangement people choose to form. Economic cooperation is economic cooperation.

The problem is it becomes coercive the moment dishonest wording by marketing and the actual product is observed.
