I'm afraid that I don't see being "scarce" has to do with the matter. That's completely unrelated to whether or not one pays an author for a copy of their book.

How do you make your living, Lauzon, may I ask? Do you get paid a fixed salary, or do you say to your customers "pay me whatever you feel my work is worth to you?"
