In our current age, yes. But it wasn't always so. Look, I'm all in favor of reworking the copyright system to be more in favor of the consumer (very much so, even though it's not going to happen). But the idea that a writer should be able to retain his copyright and make a living is a good one, and not one I'm going to budge on.
