No, if the publisher goes out of business the author is fucked The authors are defensive of their publishers because they're pretty sure self-publishing is terrible and doesn't work
So what's your thesis here, that nobody should be paid well, or that if the authors who are paid well go away (traditional publishing collapses) the money will then and only then start getting spread around

Because I genuinely do not think it is the existence of traditional publishing that makes things hard for self-publishers

And as long as we're not yet living in post-capitalist utopia, the evidence is that the brave new world of online self-publishing is much *worse* in terms of inequality

Okay, so your thesis is explicitly that the writers currently getting paid should not get paid? The focus should be on the benefit the end of copyright will have on the reader/consumer and compensation for the producer is not your concern?
