How I became a "payer" after spending my Internet childhood as a pirate (aroundthe.net)

I think that with the number of children who have internet, paying simply isn't an option. Before I had a credit card, I would have to have an awkward conversation with my parents about what I wanted to buy and why. If the abilities for children to pay money on the internet increases (e.g. an online allowance service), piracy in that segment will probably go down, as children start to recognize that things on the internet cost money and can be easily paid for.
