But, you also have to ask, where perhaps did that extra money come from to buy those games? You may want the music more, but if you don't have to spend any money on it, then that money flows down the priority list to those things that are harder to rip off. So, as always, when people stop playing by the rules of capitalism, it becomes impossible to assign values. You can't tell if they like games more, or just that they can now buy more games because they never had to make the decision whether to buy a game or buy some music.
