It is. And fairness is highly subjective. Even value of fairness 
is subjective - no one actually demands laws of physics to be 
fair after all, do they? For me it is perfectly expected that act 
of presentation is more profitable than act of creation. 
Inventing stuff is by design inferior to selling stuff.

And yes, I am very cynical towards culture. We have already more 
books one can read and songs one can listen to in whole life. 
That quickly and justly diminishes value of any new one to the 
point where listeners attention may become more expensive than 
authors time. Most authors won't get a penny for their creations 
because they don't actually cost a penny.

But it is all about personal beliefs in the end and I am not 
trying to convince you that there is aything inherently wrong 
about your attitude. It is reasonable and solid. What I have 
tried to show is that statements like "BSD is less free than GPL 
because it does not enforce freedom" are very opinionated and 
boil down to very core ideological preferences. One simply can't 
use such statements  in article that is supposed to provide any 
fact-based overview.
