I respect the people that create content I consume. That does neither imply
that I am forced to pay for the distribution of their works nor that my right
to share information of whatever kind should be limited.

get it.
Of course I cannot force someone to give me something. However, someone who has
acquired something cannot be forbidden from sharing it. In other words: your
rights end where mine begin, and it is my good right to share what I have.
So, in your hypothetic scenario, a wealthy supporter or a bunch of fans
pooling money could pay the $100k, then share the work with the world. I see no
problem with this.
