If you think this is more important than the money it can be sold for, you should be the one to buy it.

Exchanging money for something implies you believe it has a monetary value. That is the opposite of thinking something is too important to have a monetary value.
Spending money to ensure something is released online for free is not the opposite of thinking it should be released online for free though.

If think the owner should give up its monetary value to satisfy your beliefs, you should be willing to do the same.

So you mean to say it’s priceless?
I find this question offensive. I don’t appreciate the implication that I misspoke.
It’s a double meaning, no need to interpret it as a slight, just punny.
