You (for a wide "you") aren't talking about how to fix it.
Instead you're justifying why it would stay broken.
And then it's immoral when they try to enforce this.
- scott_s 15y agoI (specifically myself) am interested in why things are the way they are, so I can understand what needs to be done to improve it. I am not a part of the establishment enforcing this. The statement that I responded to was directly contradicted by a published author (cstross). That's what I was pointing out, that if we want to get further towards understanding the situation, perhaps we should listen to a person with experience in it.
- bigiain 15y agoSurely, of all places, HN is a great place to discuss broken existing business models? Nobody is going to know how to "disrupt" a problem they don't understand. If you had to choose an audience in front of which to explain the problem of the existing publishing industry and their outdated approach to selling digital versions of their product to people begging to be able to pay for them, can you think of anywhere else that's more likely to have enough people capable of going "I cold fix that!"?
