Agreed. This experiment had nothing to do with whether or not he would get paid, or whether people appreciated "free". Those weren't the stated goals.
Besides, he got paid $43/hour during this experiment. That's more than most people make. Sounds like he earned quite a bit of money performing his art "for free".
