Yes - but of course it's a nonrival good, which is infinitely reproducible at minuscule or less marginal cost. If I copy it and give it to you, my copy isn't lessened in any way. It feels like it should be free, but you can't see or feel the labor that went into producing it.
Fuck you, pay me - I like that.
