This raises an interesting ethical dilemma. What price should people for
work they do for fun if that competes with the rates people must charge when
they are dependent on the work for their livelihood.
This is the discussion that took place some time ago in the following
context. There were several "crafty" ladies all comfortably retired. They
made some very fine toy dolls for children and gave them away. This made it
impossible for several other women to sell their work. The other women were
trying to augment their small incomes with their toy dolls.
