> "gets a very small slice of the overall profits from a sale, the rest of which is swallowed by a useless industry". Yet every day new bands are signing up with this 'useless industry' trying to gain more exposure and money than they would without this 'useless industry'. > Am I obliged to pay you? No. You demand to be payed for the costless act of copying your book. That's ridiculous. This statement is utterly ridiculous. Just because something is easy to copy means it should be free? I can easily copy a 100$ bill on my Xerox machine at work, I should be able to do this without consequence? You must not be in the content creation industry and rely on it to pay your rent. The art, creativity and experience are where the value lies in a book, not in the 'copy', so yes I as a content creator do have a right to charge you to enjoy my art.
