Bottom line, you will always get content, whatever that may mean.

But great content creators will want to be rewarded one way or another. Book writers get paid, movie makers as well, so why shouldn't those who share their wisdom in a blog post? If someone is making money off your content and you aren't, you will not be happy. When it's not even attributed to you, it's even worse.

SEO is a response to Google's incentives, and Google can fix it if it wants.
