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.

Exactly, writers deserve some dignity, too. You pay for a book, it means something. Not some government assigned handout.
