However, where someone is trying to make their mark, free has its place. A young graduate looking to gain expereince in an industry that doesnt do graduates, may use the concept of free to market what they offer the world.<br><br>Obviously, there are many situations you have covered that I agree with. But I would not use the concept of charging for everything as a blanket philosophy myself.

Once I've ripped the recording to disk, I use Audacity to trim any extraneous material from before the start of the actual program, and any extraneous material after the end of the program. This way I don't have to worry about starting/stopping the recording at the precise moment that the show starts/ends.

Pro bono is not "in exchange" for anything. You should not have any expectation of remuneration for pro bono work other than the benefit you bring to others. Make the gift - you pay the price to bring your service to the non-profit - the "gain" needs to be measured differently in a give of this nature. Don't try to put a price on this type of free and you may find it is more worth it. I guess you've made my point a bit. Pro bono is not “in exchange” for anything.
