No, free music is not a right. And it is at writers' discretion to give it away for free.

Some music is free, as in the stuff which is given away as promo's. Just like those small packets of laundery detergent. Try going to the supermarket and asking for a free full bottle of detergent........ crazy thought huh ?

My own opinion is that if you think that you have to give away all your music for free, then it's not worth much.

For marketing puropses, in limited amounts that's just fine, but otherwise I'd suggest that it's not worth listening to anyway. It's just more white noise filling an already over crowded space.
