Yike, what a question! OF COURSE NOT. Good writers should be paid a good living. I've been making my living as a writer for all of my adult life, first screenwriting and now novels, and there are always iterations in the way writers get paid and we have to adapt to new technologies and new business models.

I think bestselling author Scott Nicholson has a good grasp on what comes next now that so many books are available for free in his article Subsidizing the Freebie.

After all - that's what supported "free" television since its inception.
