One thing to note is that the ransomware servers (where the decryption key is stored) are being targeted by law enforcement agencies. So if you do decide to pay a ransom, the key may have already been destroyed even if the mongrels who distribute this had the best of intentions *ahem* to decrypt your data it may not be possible. So you'd be left with a whole heap of useless files, be $$$ out of pocket, and have funded the development of a better version of ransomware.
