Barbaric? Truly?? So an author says "hey I put alot of time and effort into this and apparently it is good because people want to copy it and spread it and read and therefore I'd like those people to pay a fair and equitable price for the priviledge" and that is
barbaric?? Really?
And it isn't barbaric at all to say "I really don't give a toss how much time and effort you put in, I want it for free and so I'm going to get it for free no matter what I have to do"?(discounting fair use policy, libraries etc which are concepts already agreed to by the author)
