[QUOTE="AaronLoeb, post: 421962, member: 4382"] "A customer who has paid for the product has every right to complain as much as they want about the product, and its value. Someone who got it for free does not reserve such judgement." Right, but put that quote in this context: as a response to the statement 'DON'T BUY THIS BOOK! GET IT CHEAP!' A person who actually paid cash money for a book has a very good reason to say, "I paid too darn much for this book." A person who got it for free is being disingenuous (at best) making such a statement. Not actually taking a stand on this issue -- but I think that this is what Mr Figueroa meant to explain. A person who gets free books can't complain personally about the price of the books he got; in fact, it is ethically incumbent upon him or her to say "I got this for free." Which is a good idea anyway, because then you can follow it up with the evergreen, "And even at free, this book was too expensive." Anyway, I think this was what he was getting at.
