I think his rebuttals are sound, but I tend to lean towards Richardson's zero-cost idea that digital products (creative or not) have no inherent monetary value. There are other forms of value, of course. There's lots of value in zero-cost creative works, take for instance the plethora of PD works available here and at Feedbooks, all very valuable, but are any, in a digital format, worth 'money'?
