Ok dude, I don't think 5 days is a big deal.  
Although I understand the sentiment - reminds you of the greedy big corpa practices, trying to squeeze what they can.
But come on - 1 time delay for only 5 days is not a big deal.
I myself in a camp that every intellectual property should be free - since it costs you nothing to make another copy - but 
you should pay for convenience.
If you want the most convenient access to the thing - you should give the author a cofee-worth-of-money.
But if a dollar is a big deal for someone - squeezing them out of their food or closes is a dick move too.
