However someone's time and skill went into making the original loaf much like a photograph. Should they not be compensated for making it so.
I think a better question to ask is, if a replicator existed that could make infinite copies of his product for nothing, should he have bothered to make it in the first place, and then demanded to be compensated for each copy in existence?

Well depends what the original deal was if it was "We will pay you $x for each copy if you make the original" then yes he should be compensated.
