How typical for the media industry that their costs are always rising.
I wonder how could be that thousands of books are available on the net , scanned, formatted, converted to a myriad of formats and distributed ilegally for free yet not a single one of these pirates used to press, duplicate, store and distribute physical books.
It makes you think that maybe, just maybe, digital distribution is dirt cheap so any teenager with a scanner and time can put out a perfectly good edition of the latest bestseller.
Maybe these pirates should be appointed as managers of the digital distribution branch in editorials given that they already showed they can get their job done with a 0.01% of the budget
