I assume the implication of the title is that we have to work for it to be free? Or am I missing something? Whatever the case, the book's on my list now.

I think the article is specifically that locked-out content creates piracy habits that users don't break even when the original locked-out content is allowed to distribute organically via file-sharing or netflix or whathaveyou.

Right, I'm just having trouble understanding the relevance of the title in that context.
