No they wouldn't and this goes for movies, music and even porn. Sorry if there is no profit motive most people wouldn't be doing these things. Since they have no income they'd have to get other jobs to make living and wouldn't have time for the other stuff.

I find it ironic that these guys' book is copyrighted.
