But should an author labor for a year to research, write and rewrite and finally produce an excellent piece of work and then not be paid for it? Free misses an awful lot of what's great.
Of course they should be paid; it's just that I'm not into modern fiction. I much prefer the classics; especially 18th and 19th century works. Since this stuff is free and there's more than I can read in my lifetime, I see no need to buy and read modern fiction.
