To me, “free album” is like a person handing out free CD’s on a busy sidewalk.
This is more like my landlord going into my living room and putting a CD on my shelf.
(Now someone will tell me about how my analogy is flawed, I don’t care, that’s how analogies work. It’s not the same, it’s an analogy.)




In my country, free schools are not an expense, we profit on it.
Whatever money we spend on an education, will on average come back twice in the form of increased income tax. Plus of course the other values of living in a well educated society.
So taking a free education is not society subsidizing you, you are doing society a favor.
