IMO, I think the demand is there. It seems to me that our economic model just isn't ready to handle how we distribute/consume art. Once the art is created digitally, it basically costs $0 to reproduce it, yet we're still stuck on the idea that a "book" costs ~$20 each, and a generous portion of that goes to the distributor. IMO, we don't even need distributors. I should be able to go to the author's website on my kindle, and download the book for much less than $20. And all of that would go directly to the author, not the distributor. (I know a lot of this reply has a lot of hand-waving and over-simplification, trying to keep it concise)
