Many writers are very good at making already extremely complicated subjects (like social mores, conflicts, depression) even more impenetrable.
There are very few writers indeed willing to explain complex subjects (like relativity or quantum physics) in simpler terms. If they did, it wouldn't be 'literature'.
No more $100000000 movies is a small price to pay for no more copyright. I could happily live the rest of my life without another professionally made book, program, or song. In fact I would be ecstatic.
