"If it makes you feel better creatives aren't the only ones tired of the everything free model"
Utter bollocks. There are more creative people engaged in artistic production and dissemination than any other point in human history. There is more money spent on entertainment than at any other point in human history (despite the effects of a major economic recession).
Yet here's another bunch of people whinging that consumers are doing everything wrong and denying them what is rightfully theirs (appealing to a thoroughly outmoded and rapidly discredited business model).
If you as an artist (or a publisher) can't adapt and utilise changing market conditions (and consumer expectations) then you're a dinosaur. Those who can and do make the changed market work for them won't even notice your bones.
