We are also free to take away as well, meaning filter the garbage. Although I think there is a lot more to be done in that department.
Sometimes it does seem like much ado about nothing, how much compensation does anyone really need anyway?? There are going to be people who will support the authors monetarily, there are going to be people who support the authors in other ways, (talk about the books, write about the books) and there are going to be people who just want to read the books and could care less about who wrote the words they are reading.
This whole keeping words under lock and key thing has seriously
GOT TO GO!!!!!!!
