i don't think he cares at all about the money. he just seems disapointed that the people that get the privalege are the same people doing the leak. he even says something like all people can't afford to buy albumns, etc. i'd be pissed too because then there is much less enthusiasm when the actual albumn is released.

how often are you super excited about an albumn that you got a few months before it goes out and forget to buy it by the time it comes out?
