I agree with part of that, that trying to control access to digital media 
is pointless. However I think it is right and just for an author to ask for 
profit from there work. Otherwise where is the motivation? Material profit 
is a much better motivator than altruistic betterment of society. (USSR vs. 
US?)

Further more, all that aside I have no issue with people refusing to be a 
part in circumventing that motivation nor author bitching about people who do.
