The American Empire strikes again.
You'd think they would have seen this coming though.
I think a long-term solution is a universal revenue-sharing programme - so like some portion of taxes is allocated to a universal repository, and then paid out to creators according to usage. No middle-men and no distribution issues, etc.

No middle-men and no distribution issues, etc. So, just another publishing and distribution monopoly, no matter who runs it. Still a good improvement over the current status quo, I'll agree. Flawed as they may be, Spotify and Youtube did end up boosting independent creative production and accessibility of content manifold.

- djmips 4y agoWhat about a Spotify for books?

- prox 4y agoMaybe in the first 5 years it’s just what it is now, and then it goes into the repository. I am going to assume most sales are in those years.
