Why is David Weber, to take one example, despite nearly every book he has written being legitimately available free, still writing, and apparently making a living selling books?
Do you "gleefully" steal everything that isn't nailed down?
No?
Then why do you think everyone else does?

Then allow me to ask, Mr. Anarchy-at-all-costs:
Is Baen a writer?
Does David Weber already have an established print publishing resume, where he makes the bulk of his book profits? Will he still have that when print has been largely replaced by digital publishing?
Why don't you support laws that protect the rights of others?
