A translation takes time and work. Many people are willing to pay for that. If you're not, then don't.
Isn't it "fair" that the translator gets compensated for their work?

I surrender.
If I cannot express the difference between "
without copyright" and "
work for free as a slave in chains and never see one penny", nor the difference between "
being paid for a work" and "
milk money out of it for a century", it just means my English is not good enough.
I simply don't believe that you really cannot see nothing other than "zero" and "98 years of copyright".
