I really don't understand who ordinary, sane people who understand the market economy in other circumstance suddenly go all gooey when it comes to artistic products. There's no universal moral law saying that if you make something creative you'll get money from it. Van Gogh didn't have two centimes to rub together, while Salvador Dali was a millionnaire; it was due to supply and demand, not because that was what was right.
The reply to this is always "yeah, but if creative products are free no one'll make them any more". Well yeah. That's life. Suck it up.
