I have bought all humble indie bundles so far. I was always paying below average.

I didn't have time to play any of the games though so I have probably not exploited anyone's hard work (yet).

May I ask why you were paying below average? The average has always been what I would call "ridiculously low" and, except for some form of financial hardship, I don't understand what good reason there is for not ponying up a more respectable amount.

This will probably offend some people but I grew up in a culture of not paying for information. Piracy was for long time the only way to obtain interesting software in my country.

If I'm hitting some paywall while searching for something crucial for me I always go extra mile to find the thing I need (or equivalent) without paying.

I sometimes pay when acquiring software but I don't view it as paying for but rather as voluntarily supporting a cause.

That's the case with Humble Indie Bundle. I think the idea of "pay what you want" is worth the support.
