It isn't really an illegal download. I mean, if I didn't get this download, I could have easily taken samples of it and created a font from that. It would just take a little longer, and I don't see how companies can justify charging crazy prices for basically about 40 small images. Whilst I hardly think...font piracy is a wild problem, it goes under the same reasons a lot of people turn to TV/music/video piracy - if the customer doesn't get what it wants then it will turn to other methods. I buy CDs regularly - they feel much more special to me

but if a CD i want isn't accessible to me, then I may have to turn to other means to get it. There's no reason why fonts should cost that much.
