Oh. I saw your first comment as a statement in response to dmaul suggesting creators should receive royalties for their work for their entire life. He did not assert that profit motive was the only reason to create so I did not understand that you were responding to a remark that stated this. Your second remark was the only one I saw suggesting money was the only reason to create.

Sorry for the confusion.
