You don’t get more golden eggs by killing the goose who lays them.
Also the IA book UI was terrible.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 2y agoIs the goose here the publisher? Or the author? If it’s the latter, then would killing the publisher necessarily dictate that the author also must die?
- TaylorAlexander 2y agoYeah I genuinely cannot understand that comment.
- adolph 2y agoThe goose is the entire book publishing system. Do editors, typesetters, cover artists, indexers, fact checkers, proofreaders, etc not add value to be recompensed? Is copyright (the exclusive right to make copies) not the sole fulcrum upon which rests the author and many others integral to books as we know them? Unlike music, it’s uncommon for authors to go on tour selling tickets and merch.
