Hmm, hadn’t thought of the arrow of causality pointing that way.
Of course, if the prospect of making money significantly pushed up the probability of him writing it, then I can’t complain… I’d rather have it exist behind a paywall than not exist at all.
But I’ll have to question if the antecedent is really true. Is the money really more motivating than the prestige of having written an awesome work?

Do you consider selling written works in general to be just wrong?
