Nope...my experience of being ripped-off is pretty heavily ALL books, ALL the time.
(The "you don't have a real job so your time isn't valuable" thing is something that every home-based worker, employee, etc., has always dealt with. People are @$$holes.)

Hitch, people are trained to be jerks. Who does it? Why <we> do. Consider the following. . .
How much do individuals pay for Over The Air (OTA) radio? Nothing.
How much do individuals pay for OTA Television? Correct, nothing.
That's an awful lot of canalization. . . People trained from birth to get entertainment for free. Do you wonder why people keep those bad habits for other entertainment?
