Basically, they are saying that if anyone makes a profit off their work, they deserve a cut of it.  Makes sense on the surface of it, but let&#x27;s try applying this to other categories.  Take for example a food critic.  He makes his living from reviewing the creative output of various chefs.  Without the chefs doing what they do, the critic wouldn&#x27;t have an audience and therefore no newspaper column.  So do the chefs deserve a cut of the critic&#x27;s revenue?  Of course a favorable review does tend to drive extra traffic to the restaurant, just as a positive match in Google Books can drive a sale to a given book.
