> Personally, I would love to pay hundreds for a limited access to books I would like to read.

… Why? I'd assume that this was sarcastic, except that the sarcastic reading seems to support the post with which you seem to be arguing, and the rest of the paragraph:

> But folks aren't inspired too much about writing books today that can make them a living, since there are pirates everywhere. They want free content, because "information should be free". No, it shouldn't. Pay for it.

seems to be sincere.
