Re: Honor Systems
I come from a relatively poor family, and my parents encouraged me to get pirated computer games since I learned to do it at the age of 8 or so. With doing that for 15 years and now having all the benefits of the internets, it's even easier than using the easiest web shops to buy games (or movies, music, software) online legally.
Now, with my newfound wealth through poker, I've been actually buying some media with high re-play value. I find myself doing this, because I want to support the companies putting good hard work and creating great stuff. I like when companies actually try to make something good, instead of maximizing short-term profit for the shareholders.
Onto my question: Could you see an honor system WORKING in the case of music/movies/games?
What if the customer could choose how much he wants to pay for the media/record?
