So, how is getting paid for one's time any different from being paid for the value of one's labor ? Do you think that economic theory doesn't apply in that case, and that, somehow, a person isn't going to just simply demand a huge salary that results in the same compensation ? And how to you prevent someone from just creating a piece of software, keeping it to themselves, and then charging others if they want a private copy of it ? Are you going to demand that software developers release their code to the public, and enforce that through the state ? What about live performances ? Are you going to mandate that performers invoice each person in attendance for their time ?
