Some will pay because they don't know how to get it free.
Some will pay to get it ASAP and don't wait for others to share.
Some will pay to support, even if they can get it free.
Some will pay to share it and get gratification from strangers.
Some will wait to get it for free but pay for it if they get tired waiting.
Some will never pay and just get whatever is shared (me)
Some will never pay because they don't even know the model.
If content is good, sharers will do good indirect advertising, supporters will support and money will go in.
If content is bad, someone shares, no one bothers and it ends there forgotten in someones hard drive, at best.
It sucks? Yeah, no one likes getting stolen. But at the same time, others likes getting stuff for free.
