I'm not suggesting that it should be illegal to make money out of writing, it's just that I find it preposterous to suggest that regardless of the direction that laws take people would stop writing.

I'm pretty convinced a lot of them would. And that most would write a lot less. The truly passionate and the truly long winded would continue, but what percentage is passionate and the long winded have their blogs
Just my opinion mind you and I doubt very much copyright will be shortened so impossible to know.
