I bought all the Baen websubscription up until a year or so ago. I tend to look at it from the stand point that if I like an author, I'm going to do what I can to make sure that author keeps writing, so I buy their books. Perhaps not in dead tree format anymore, but I will buy them from the Kindle store.
The bottom line is that if an author doesn't get paid, they eventually move on to something that will pay them a living. That's what happened with Rick Cook (and probably the vast majority of mid list authors). I thought his Wiz series was great, but it didn't sale enough, so he went back to his day job.
