There are lots of ways to make money with content that do not involve charging for copies. One of the most popular and promising is the pay to release model where a preview may be free but the product is only released in full once enough money has been spent on it. This a more flexible approach that does not lock producers into a particular price structure or production schedule. Now that copies no longer have significant cost or barriers it is necessary to move away from making exchange of copies the primary point of revenue generation.
