I don't want T-shirts and fridge magnets with the author's name on it. I want to read a book. You might as well charge me for the book, because if you depend on my buying a lot of kitschy c**p instead of paying for the book, you won't get a dime.

There really isn't much else to say, is there? You don't believe the world operates on capital.
Many of us say you're wrong. Even those who say you are right mostly work for a living and pay for their food and rent, thereby proving you wrong.
Until you create a world where everyone gets everything for free, your idea of giving away creative works for free is simply unworkable.
Face it. Or die.
