Yes. Usually from people who are not. People deserve to be paid for their work. If you were hosting a community event, would you think of stealing the food for it? If not, do you consider yourself overly honest? So is your opinion of composers so low that you think they should not be paid for their work?

Also, consider that ASCAP has gotten pretty tough about enforcing royalties (their right, IMHO). They sued the Girl Scouts last year! I'd rather pay the pennies up front than deal with the penalties later.
