Paying for the Gospel

I assume that Vatican officials have been hanging around too much with lawyers.  What else can explain the Vatican's very public dispute over fees it wants to charge for the use of Pope Benedict XVI's written work?  Given the Great Commission, shouldn't we be encouraging widespread piracy and unauthorized publication of papal encyclicals and other documents bringing the Good News to the masses?  I understand wanting to limit scandalous mischaracterizations of the work, but why are we talking about money in this context?  The Church, in my estimation, should make money in order to disseminate its teachings as widely as possible; this current debate gives the appearance (accurate or not) of disseminating its teachings in order to make money.
