One well-known creator's work was copied and distributed for free as an apparently ill-researched attempt at political protest against a charity the creator supported. The creator felt "forced" to then turn the item into a freebie. I've been wondering why the creator did this. Surely the people who found out about it and supported the creator's work, would still be happy to buy it at the regular price, a choice illustrated by several of the principles in The Technium's article.

One aspect that wasn't fully explored was market exploitation by resale of copies, but the general gist was well thought out. Essential reading for all creators in Second Life!
