Regarding the topic of "non-copywritten work" - have a look at software and open-source. I know, authors dont like this - but software is really not that different from books...
And what will you see? OpenSource and "normal" software living next each other. And both sides actually make money ...
(I agree - it would be difficult to sell support for a book. But there are other possible incomes for an author then selling the book itself. It should be left to the author wether he likes the traditional way (see "non-drm does not mean non-copywritten") or "open writing"
