Sorry, I didn't put my question clearly...
You are saying that the author has to be paid for his work. And I totally agree with that.
What I ask you is: how much is the maximum amount the author should earn for one book (not the sale price of a single copy, the total income from every use of the content of the book)?
Where's the upper limit of "fair"?
When the income is simply enough and it become "plain wrong" to ask more money?
Of course I am asking it to you, but the question is open for everybody...
