The material isn't the author's property. Rather, the material is under a monopoly agreement - created and enforced by the state - that disallows anyone
but a single person to control that idea or set of ideas. That is not property by definition.
Your argument that I would want to have or make profit off of someone else's ideas is
a strawman fallacy. I have never claimed such a thing and I would never endorse such a statement.
Do not argue against things I never said.
