Yes, wealthy aristocrats wrote whatever they wanted and less wealthy authors wrote what they got paid to write by their wealthy aristocrat patrons.

Copyright and the publishing industry changed that to make it possible to live by writing for ordinary people.

And now wealthy aristocrats have been replaced by staggeringly wealthy megacorporations like Disney and WB.

Its disgustingly dishonest to appeal for "poor" authors where casual glance immediately proves that modern IP law exceedingly profits only a few massive corporations and their shareholders.
