If you strongly feel that peoples work should be free for everyone, then I guess you volunteer where you work? You wouldn't then think of actually getting paid for your work and effort, right?
Getting paid for your work is so archaic and dinosaurish.
Yeah, it's just the opinion of someone. However, I like to read information from those who have direct knowledge by taking the time to put in the work necessary to form a much more educated opinion.
Doing that takes time and money. If you think the cost isn't worth it to you, cool. However, the author has a right to his/her work and people shouldn't feel free to post it on the web without the author's permission.
If the article stayed up, somehow I get the feeling you wouldn't have bought a copy anyway. I think some dinosaurs know that.
