Community creates Buzz, Value is the perception of the individual. Buzz may enhance or reduce the value in your eyes, but ultimately YOU are responsible for assigning value to a 'thingy' such as a book or whatever. I see nothing wrong in what she did.
At some point she should have a reasonable expectation of getting paid for her intellectual work. She owes you nothing. You had a chance to read her book for free, you either took advantage of it or you didn't. If you DID, then what are you complaining about? If you didn't, then why would you care?
