there is no reason to go out and purchase it since you already have a copy of it that is indistinguishable from the retail version, other than some packaging.

I used to record songs off the radio when I was a kid, but would eventually buy the real cassette since it sounded better and was more convenient, etc. No reason to do that anymore with lossless digital copies.
you were arguing no one would buy because the pirated copy was so good

i am talking about the way i teach musicians to market to pirates

it possible to get 83% rate by giving away the music and asking them the right way to pay if they like it.
