Never heard of him either, just looked him up.  Whether he was the first 
to deny the existence of a free lunch I have no idea, its always struck 
me that the principle is obvious, in this and other contexts the artist 
has to be paid.

The ironic thing here for me is that all the BBC is doing is asking 
people to declare whether they are using iPlayer without paying for it . 
If you feel happy using something you don't pay for that's on your 
conscience. As far as I know the BBC  don't have the means to enforce 
payment for using iPlayer if you only use it on a non tv

The licence fee is cheap.
