Now imagine that the newspaper not only has a page on community events but starts selling tickets for those events. Some well-meaning politician comes in and says that the newspaper should pay a portion of the ticket sale to the organisers. So the newspaper stops advertising the event in their pages, and the event starts struggling with less attendance than before. Analogies are nice, but one should always be cautious that they don't oversimplify the issue.
