Heh. Of course not. The most interesting point I was trying to highlight with the above quotes is that the "Free Culture" movement fails to note its own hypocrisy in paying regular money to large corporations while depriving individual artists of the royalties they need to support themselves. While musicians can at least tour to earn additional income, writers are primarily dependent on book sales, making piracy of the sort Goodkind outed even more problematic.
