Because money is now made from advertising and endorsements. Download whatever you want

if it's there to be downloaded. The internet is the last bastion of freedom, but they are cracking down on it fast trying to control it as they have always controlled your lives. Downloading and piracy is not what you think it is. They have already found ways to eat up your life and days by forcing you to watch ads in everything you do now. Who gave them the right to steal 30 seconds of my life? How is that not illegal and piracy? So if you want to force me to spend 1 month of my life per year watching ads, then I've already paid enough money to warrant downloading whatever I want that's available to download. You take my time, I'll take your movies for free :) Fair trade.

How would the artist/author receive their money? The publisher wouldn't just give them a lump sum, if there was no charge for downloaded music, video...etc... there wouldn't be any income.

Actually my friend, welcome to the new world of ecommerce! Direct sales is the old fashioned way of making income. I produce a good, and u buy the good. That's the old way. The new way is better. Everything is free. If it's good, it becomes popular and gets tons of views and attention, therefore garners revenue from companies who want to endorse, sponsor you, and run their ads.

Think about why FREE online games actually make more money than paid games. Think about why YouTube is for FREE, and yet generates the most money and has turned millions of people around the world into rich folk. It's all free. It's about IM, ad campaigns, SEO, and the dozens of other techniques out there to earn you money you never thought was possible.
