I could assert all kinds of qualifiers as to why I should get everything I want for free, too. That doesn't mean I'm justified. And this isn't a document of immense historical import we're discussing. It's a short (and if you ask me, incompletely considered) book review. Just the same, if it were my work and people wanted to read it but they didn't want to pay I'd be at minimum very hurt, and probably pretty angry if they just started helping themselves to it while trading nothing in return. I'm sure you would be, too. It's a bit of a professional slap in the face that one's work should apparently be free for all, but software should be highly paid for. Especially in a forum where a large number of the participants are highly paid relative to the rest of the world.
