In the doom scenario you sketch nobody would produce creative content anymore, and what exactly would be the problem with that then? Apparently people don't think it's worth enough. This is how a free market works. I also disagree with your statement that people only want creative content for free. I think Spotify and Netflix prove that people simply want the most convenient service, but old-fashioned companies keep making roadblocks that make legal content less convenient to use than pirated/illegal content. > Stallman [...] is a tenured academic. It doesn't matter to him that nobody pays for his work. The university does? I assume he can get fired if he doesn't do his job even if he has tenure. > Someone who works for nothing is the definition of a slave. I think a lot of volunteers, e.g. a large amount of programmers who contribute to open source projects, do not think of themselves as or could be qualified as slaves.
