Yes, and if Pink Floyd wants another 12 cents, I would be happy to 
give that to them, rather I support them directly by attending 
concerts, etc.  OTOH,  Apple's Music Store makes it way more 
convenient to get a known good digital copy of that music, and it is 
priced reasonably enough that makes it more reasonable to just pay 
$10 to get it.

Coming from a place where my time is what people pay for, I also 
place a real value on that.  If I download legal-but-free music and 
spend 5 minutes or so futzing with that, plus correcting the meta 
information, etc, it costs me more than 99 cents in time lost. My 
leisure time is worth just as much, if not more, than my work time. 
That is the reason I don't pay someone a buck to wash and iron my 
shirts... it takes me 10 minutes to iron a shirt; that is only 
$6/hour... a bad use of my time. Same theory in paying for known 
quality music downloads.
