I see nothing fair at all with just taking into account the creator of ideas wishes. With your opinion I assume you believe copyright should not be time restricted at all.

This is of course what we are discussing. The meaning of creation. What rights does the creator have once their work has been uploaded, as it were.
By merely mentioning the existence of a text, the creator has given up their rights. Although I do not like to speak of things such as rights, since rights by their very nature (fanciful dreams imagined by humans) do not exist outside of the dreamers head, although we do have collective dreaming and its effect on the construction of reality but for most times, that is usually beyond the scope of discussion, although what else is there to discuss?
What right does an author have to tease us with fanciful cover graphics and interesting titles and then not allow us to read what lies behind these things? YOU have the right to upload, WE have the right to choose to pay.
