The lamest excuse I've ever heard, most people pay for:
Expensive coffee
Expensive soccer ticket
Expensive mobile phones (yes, I'm talking about you, iPhone!)
Expensive universities' tuition fees
Expensive conference ticket
Expensive party ticket
But hey, if it's a book or a course, it will directly fall among the "I can't afford that" π€¨
What you said in your nicely written article works the same in regards of courses too...
Yes, I confess that I was stealing Pluralsight and Udemy courses, but not anymore.
I became a content author and I see how much work we pour into making just one video (planning, recording, editing, and publishing), around two hours to produce a 10 mins video π€―
That fact totally changed my mind about how wrong it is to "download from torrent" a course rather than buying it.
I hope people who still "download" books or courses would consider buying them instead.

Yeah, this has always seemed strange to me. Training services (and occasionally my training services), to the rare few they're on offer to, are in demand. But some will balk when recommended to pay for an online course to prepare for the in-person stuff.

It's the same with software.
Real head scratcher there.
Exactly man!
BTW Nathan, I enjoy reading your comments here and there π
