I can think of other ways that authors can be compensated. For one, I think a kind of subscription library (with breaks for those who are too poor to pay the standard fee) might be a good way to go. In fact, I have argued for something like that as probably the only practical way to actually end piracy. That being said, its not the law of the land yet, and likely never will be. And while copyright is the law of the land, and the best thing yet tried, I will defend authors rights to enforce those copyrights by reasonable means. I want them to write more; a lot more.
