artists beg to differ with you. as do designers, in that thread i already linked and you cheerfully ignored.
Maybe you should read it too. It's actually much more nuanced that you make it out to be. Sometimes it pays to give, share and otherwise barter. My personal take is that if you make money off my work I want some too. Otherwise, I don't mind giving my time for additional experience too. That's how TFCD works for photographers and models.

does that mean heath ledger shouldn't have been paid
Nobody asked Heath Ledger to do volunteer work for Hollywood. On the other hand, if I was asked, I would try my hand at a speaking in role in a student film with no hesitation. Just once, for kicks and giggles.
