[Poll #1832597]

The first option, of course, makes it harder for people to earn a living from writing, music, television, etc. There's definitely a tradeoff here. If everyone torrents the next season of #Your Favourite TV Show# then there won't be a next one unless Kickstarter _really_ takes off.

Note: Voting for the third option without offering a solution which is technically feasible in the comments will merely cause giggling.
