I snipped a lot of stuff, but here's my point. I don't have much use for
the arguments that people shouldn't be paid (or shouldn't be paid "so
much") for what they do because someone else doesn't think it's fair. We
have a labor market. If a writer or a singer or a professional shortstop
can get millions for what s/he does, it's fine by me.

Remember, what copyright does is not guarantee that a writer gets
millions. It just prevents people who didn't write it from making
millions. Before copyright, that's what happened.

If people want to write or sing or play baseball for free, I'm all for
that, too. It's just not my place to tell 'em that they "should."
