But what if it was easier? Copyright is a means of protecting authors against those who would steal their work and resell it for cheaper than what the author is selling it for. If everything was available for free nothing would be capable of being stolen, everything that was bought would be paid for. Perhaps it is too much of a shift in thinking so I will just continue to read whatever I wish to and compensate occasionally.
On a side note I do plan on extending this thinking to all areas of life...
