How do you get this notion that you can decide how someone monetizes or chooses not to monetize from new technologies? What gives YOU the right to determine that for someone else's work, regardless of how many other avenues of income they have?

your rights end the second mine begin and vice versa
copyright law only gives you the right to control the monitization of your content, not to censor other people.
if you choose to give up the monetization, then you lose nothing from it being given away for free, since you would make nothing by refusing to exploit the technology.
