Your book commissar flaw depends on our society not being able to compensate authors without a paywall forcing them to do so. Meaning you think people won't pay for books that they can download for free. Nevermind all that gibberish about people not placing value on things that they don't spend money on, that's just 20th century psychobabble.
What I assert is that authors shouldn't be able to sell books, readers will still be able to buy of course, and so authors will be paid. This is called a free market.
