Well, to an extent it should. If an author writes something, it's easy to read what he wrote and type an identical copy on any word processor, then publish it for free on an E-Reader. There needs to be some kind of protection from things like that happening.
I'm more in favor of changing how everything works, but I'll not let my anarcho-syndicalism get in the way here.
Many things are available for free online (or for cheaper, pirates gotta make money too)... this is called piracy. Most people would rather pay the artist for their work than visit some third party site and get it for free (along with whatever viruses that brings). Example: I could have just read the free version of what I linked in my last post, it was even on a first party source, but I bought the book anyway.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
