Jeremy - my goodness, your sense of entitlement is amazing.  You expect your employer to give you your paycheck every single payday for the work that you do.  I think your he should take all the money you made from work, and keep it for himself, or maybe give it to the poor.  After all:
"The free market value of any infinitely reproducible object is zero; if you don’t like working for free then do something else."  And since no employee is irreplaceable, that means your job is infinitely reproducible, and therefore it would be wrong of you to want to use the money to feed yourself and your children.  

But don't worry, we'll all be happy to receive the money you earned since we too will be on welfare after everyone steals our books. 

Wake up, Jeremy.  A lot has changed in the world.  Every book in the world is infinitely reproducible since the creation of copiers and printers.  That didn't make it legal, or morally right to do so.  So why is you think it's morally and legally right to steal someone's words?

Don't forget - if no author is ever paid for their work, there won't be books to read.  We'll all write them, and save them on our computers.  We'll decide it's not worth the effort, since we don't get paid for our work.  No one will ever see them, and that's a huge loss for society.  So keep stealing them, and watch the work dwindle to nothingness.  We won't have to worry about people like you stealing our work, because there won't be any.
