      "part of this", lmao, to what degree, jeopardy boy, does some vaguely anarchist motherfuckers with a mediocre manifesto on their pirate website influence this shit, and not, y'know, the billionaire companies with all the control.

      Like all things, the pirates are the ones that they take aim at because they are less powerful than publishers

      Publishers are significantly less powerful than Google or Amazon, by a lot Hell music publishers are objectively far weaker than Spotify - they're getting screwed by Spotify at much as their artists So why are you so mad at them and not the tech companies

      Well, that's my point. The more powerful/bigger the culprit, the less impactful you are in comparison.

      So the natural inclination for everyone is to find the softest target and attack them bc better odds to win.

      The publishers do this too! Publishers don't fight the Amazon/Google, they fight the artists. Noone punches up.

      Publishers have, in fact, fought both Google and Amazon in big public battles on the past ten years, with the support of artists and their labor unions Not out of great altruism but the general sense that if their business model gets destroyed everyone gets fucked

      And they lost, and lost really badly and bitterly And a lot of "leftists" bizarrely cheered on the world's biggest capitalists in those fights Like Amazon vs. Hachette being this great victory against "price-fixing" by our hero Jeff Bezos

      Yeah you're absolutely not wrong that people are actually awful at pricing things they buy.

      And yes, those defeats are absolutely why publishers aren't keen to fight the Bezoses instead of pirates.

      The whole issue is that they see themselves as fighting a general societal trend and not specific actors Like it's not about calculating how much IA or Google Books directly hurt book sales, it's about normalizing a culture of "You don't have to pay for content"

          "Content is just out there, it floats around for free on the Internet, its only connection to the real economy is if something makes you really happy you look up who the OP is and toss a dollar in their ko-fi"

          It's a general attitude that groups like the Authors Guild believe to be very common and steadily advancing and overall ruinous for the possibility of "content creator" being a sustainable day job Which is why they sued Google Books, it wasn't the publishers
