Good point. Especially when no one can censor content, "piracy" will be easy.
On the other hand we see elsewhere that people don't make a pure economic calculation when it comes to choice to get unauthorized copies. For example you can torrent films at a click of a button, yet many still get a subscription for a service where you have comparatively limited choice plus ads on top of it.
Simplest explanation of this would be that people get subscription because it's the "right thing to do".
Perhaps solution would then be to allow creators to signal to the reader what the correct price is (even in a situation where there is no paywall). Then reader could Zap The Recommended Amount. He would have an indication of what the "right thing to do" is.
We wouldn't be in a situation where people Zap 50 sats and think "hey, I am helping!"
