Alek,
This is very surprising to me:
you can say that authors produced value, not the users
Is there any situation you can think of where the value is produced by users but not the authors?
Every situation where the difference between "users" and "authors" is blurred or even conflated.
Wikipedia contributors.
Numerous cases of so-called "user contributed content" - creative works given away by authors without renumeration, under terms of a usually perpetual, non-exclusive license.
