Simple as that.

There have always been proffessional artists, and their art is no less great because they have the downright cheek to charge for what they spend so much time and effort creating

Well, Michaelangelo was being paid for by the Catholic Church. And I personally think that he WOULD have done it for free, but that's impossible to determine.
Fact is that artists still make money. Somebody had to buy the CD to put onto the internet. And if it gets to the point where you can't make a dime (or shilling?) than it will really cut down on the crap.
