This is very unfortunate. Michael Bazzle does, IMO, great work and puts out great products. I have purchased many of them. It is a shame that we, as a culture, seem to have lost respect for the hard work people do in creating products for sale. The end result of an "everything should be free" attitude is that we lose access to valuable, specialized information which people are simply unwilling to provide for free.
People should be able to choose whether the product of their efforts is free or not. We should respect that choice. This is not the same as saying we should accept abusive surveillance and advertising from giant corporations which take the work of creators for free and then pay the creators pennies on the dollar for ad revenue.
The former is a direct relationship with the creator. The latter is an abusive, parasitic intermediation scam.
