Certainly, he's free to rant until he's red in the face. He can scream all he wants. No one said that he didn't. It doesn't mean his position is reasonable. He's outraged that someone could call him and ask him to allow his interview to be used for free. Fine, it's work, he can do with it as he pleases. But when he rages about people who give away their work without payment, he's not doing anything different from those who call him and ask him to give away his work for free.
