OK, I think I agree with you on this point.

I think it is harder to make this case if we don't speak of the authors right 
to get paid but rather his ability to get paid. (it is just too easy to let 
the tongue slip in this way and that is indeed what the big boys want.)

In any case, it is easy to envision that unlimited non-commercial copying 
could reduce the money the author collects. It is also possible to envision 
that it will result in him collecting more money.

I think this as well, but see it being a hard sell. (Actually, I think this 
may not be liberal enoug for my tastes, but my ideas will be an even harder 
sell.)
