Well, the point with Snooki's book is clearly to milk the gravy-train as long and hard as possible and get the maximum financial reward from it. If there was no likelihood Snooki would see any money from it, she wouldn't have put the book out (she's much too busy researching the best fingernail polish colors to wear to a breakup party).
Sure, there will be people who write "just to write"... but people like that are not the target for copyright laws anyway, any more than a pedestrian is the target of seat belt laws.
