Being a freelance writer, I am touchy on the subject of writing for free (the free in freelance refers to "being unallied," and not "free to be abused").

I am amazed that publications in the business of selling words say they start their operations with no budget for writing, which provides the product: words. It's like starting a retail wine business and then asking the suppliers to provide the product for free so that you can make a profit without having expenses.
