      Metallica sued Napster, lost half their fanbase and spent 20 years trying to rebuild their reputation. Lars is still universally disliked and file sharing is more prevalent than it ever was while the musicians finally realized pirates weren't the issue it was their record company

      Yeah the narrative that fans are all extremely generous souls who *want* to give you lots of money but the evil publisher was always standing in their way preventing them is very popular with fans Less so with artists

      Is that why artists have been increasingly successful on indiegogo, kickstarter, patreon and independent labels? Just because some authors assume people would be buying their books on droves it not for pirates doesn't make it so. If people really like your work, they support.

      The woman behind two of the 20 top-funded comic KSs of all time still took a publishing deal to turn it into a graphic novel rather than keep relying on just her KS and Patreon money. That suggests that trad pub, if you can get it, is still a better deal.

      The way people make this personal against authors speaking up - who are generally midlisters who, indeed, aren't particularly rich or famous - is so nasty "Hey if you were actually GOOD at writing you'd be a self-publishing millionaire with an army of fans sending you pledges"

      I mean look they're right The people who feel threatened by this aren't Stephen King or JK Rowling The whole point is you shouldn't have to be Stephen King or JK Rowling to make a living And the "tipjar economy" is WAY more biased toward Stephen King and JK Rowling

      The whole issue is that any creator has a certain number of people who are interested enough in their work to read it at all and a much smaller number of people who are actual "fans" In the brave new world, only the second group of people ever send you any money

      Say it's a 1% ratio, that means for JKR it's the difference between being a billionaire and a millionaire, who cares For a working schlub writer that's the difference between $20k and $200

      "You can at least pay the rent on your writing even if you need a day job to actually live decently" vs "Wow, my most successful year of sales ever, it'll pay for one fancy dinner with my spouse if we don't order wine"
