Passage Summary: One magazine stays afloat by selling books of poems it already published. Since your magazine prints similar poems, you should do the same to stop asking for so many donations.

Conclusion: The magazine in question could decrease its reliance on donations by publishing an anthology of its previously printed poems.

Reasoning: A similar magazine, The Brick Wall Review, covers its expenses by selling anthologies of poems it has the right to reprint for free.

Analysis: The patron is using an analogy to suggest a business strategy, but analogies are only as strong as the similarities between the two cases. To weaken this, we need to find a relevant difference between the two magazines. Perhaps the patron's magazine doesn't have the legal right to reprint poems for free, or maybe their specific audience is much smaller and wouldn't buy an anthology. If the 'free' part of the 'free content' model is missing, the whole plan falls apart.
