And if you want to call it that way, then yes, it's a natural law. You and I go to work to earn money. Sure, hopefully our work satisfies us in other ways to. That would be ideal. But first of all we work in order to make a living. So do you, so do I and so does an author.

Did you read what I wrote? You said that to read a book you had to pay for it and that is false since I can borrow the book from a friend. I can also buy it second hand and the author will not get any money.
Most authors have other work to make a living and they write in their spare time.
