There is a fundamental contradiction: - first as an author, want to be read, the more people read your books the better. - second as a human, you need an income. Imagine a charity (it could be government taxes as well) paying you proportionally to how much your books are read and providing the books for free to the readers. What's wrong with that? You will have more readers and you'll get paid for writing books (according to their popularity). Do you really want to sell your books? (and get less readers) Or do you want instead to have as many readers as possible and get paid for that?
