I will not have my material be gotten for free, period.  Think of it this way...would you work for free?  Of course not!
		
		
	 
Well, unfortunately, you already have. You've already done the work and invested your time and money into making the clip, and now you're trying to recoup that money through sales. If someone pirated your clip, and you decided to remove it from the market, you've now essentially done all of that work for free.
There's no way to recoup your invested money because there's now no way to even legitimately buy the clip. You're stuck with whatever money you've made before you removed it. Your hard work can now only be downloaded for free. Illegally, but still free.
This is the part that I'm not really understanding: You sold a product, someone decided to buy the product and give it away for free and you obviously deserved to get paid for all of those products that were given away for free without your permission. You now removed that product from the market, so no one else can ever buy it again... yet it's still available to anyone who wants to get it from whichever file sharing server the pirate uploaded it to. That didn't solve the problem.
I don't know if removing the clip was some legal part of a civil suit you may be in, but to me, I'd rather still allow the chance to get $5-20 per clip from loyal legitimate customers than get nothing at all. Movies and music don't get pulled from the shelves when MPAA and RIAA get wind of their piracy. They make what they can, and fight for what they think they should have gotten.
And I'm not trying to blow smoke up your ass, I'm a fan who doesn't want to see you eventually pull all of your work because of a couple assholes.
