- CaptSpify 8y agoAre you arguing that authors/editors/etc don't need to feed their families? Our economic system is fundamentally broken, in that we need to give creators more financial support. Throwing our books into our current Intellectual Property mess isn't going to fix that, just like it hasn't really fixed that for other media for the past 20 years. We need to bring non-library media closer towards the library model, rather than the reverse.
