      Self-published authors have no one taking a cut of their income and their "wages" are even worse so I'm not sure where you're going with this

      Like, you realize that indie creators also deal with piracy, and that it's a huge barrier to getting any indie business model off the ground

      maybe chuck wendig, definitely not an indie creator, should use some of his apparently rather large wealth to directly fund them instead of shitting his pants over the 7 or so loans of his books on the internet archive and giving coverage to destroying a priceless resource

      It's not about how many specific copies got shared from IA during this time period it's about IA trying to enshrine in law that there's no such thing as separate ebook rights, which are one of the main things publishers pay authors for

      have you seen how publishers treat ebook rights to 'proper' libraries you fucking idiot. they are ASTONISHINGLY expensive, and the publishers reap the vast majority of the profits and give almost jack to the writers.

      libraries are far less likely to buy ebook copies than physical copies - which they can also acquire second hand thanks to donations, l m a o, and the author gets paid nothing that way - because the entire system for it is fucked thanks to greedy publishers.

      these fuckers never fight the publishers, never ever. they talk about how poorly they're paid - and then LASH OUT at PIRATES. they don't fucking attack their publishers. they don't fucking come together to go after the people with actual money and leverage.

      Their publishers actually provide a service, yes, without which they would be unlikely to finish making a book people want to read Charles Stross talked about this at length during the Amazon vs Hachette court case in 2014

      Amazon at the time was pushing the idea that this problem would solve itself because the publishers, being useless parasites, would be rapidly abandoned by authors who would take advantage of Amazon's self-publishing services to take control of their career and get rich
