When my uncle in Germany lost his job he still was getting 1000 euro from the government, I get 600 euro working full time as a teacher (when I started working ieght years ago it was 270 euro, lol), less than a jobless person in Germany and the prices in our countries are the same, clothes cost the same, CDs / DVDs, books, we may have cheaper rent and some food but when I want to order a CD from YA it's 30 euro just as it is for a German or French person.
The comments that a membership is 'two evenings drinking' is really painful, you should really be thankful that you have rich parents or live in a rich country if you can say things like that.
I probably could afford a membership but instead I collect everything I can to be able to go to go to Japan again and see Ayu live so I'm glad there are still people who share and I also buy stuff whenever I can and share them as well.

Well, it's not like everyone in Germany is rich. I have 550€ a month. 400€ is for the rent and I'm sharing my flat already with a room mate. Then I have 150€ left to buy something to eat and to buy all the other stuff people need for living. There is barely anything left.
It's not that I could afford a membership this month, or next month, or next next month...
And 1000€ is shit when you have to pay a rent of 800€ for a single room flat - depends on where you're living but in Hamburg that wouldn't even be expensive.
