when will you shitheads unionize and demand your wealthy companies, who have driven your wages down to nothing, instead of being furious that someone out there might have not paid for a copy of your book

and wendig had like. a fucking dozen people who checked out his goddamn mediocre shit. and he was losing his mind over that. just about any shonen jump manga gets pirated a million times more than you assholes and *still* outsells you to boot.

and those manga creators are treated terribly! worked to the fucking bone by their publishers! even if all the pirates disappeared, your publishers would treat you like dirt and try to pay you as little as possible! fight the *publishers*, you shits!

the RIAA sued everybody and their grandma while doing everything they could to make sure money didn't go to the artists but to themselves, and now you have streaming, which is legal, but pays even the most famous musicians dogshit in royalties. fight. the. publishers.

So why are people angry at the authors instead of the publishers? Is it just because it's easier?

Seems like. But also some authors have come to believe their publishers telling them that they've lost money. You know, "We would pay you more, but those darn pirates are just stealing so much"
