I agree, Andrew. And it's not just copy editors. Not everyone can afford, say, $500 for a good cover design.
However, I can see various professions which hitherto have been salaried perhaps going in for a share of the royalties from indie authors. Like cover artists, translators, sound book (or whatever it's called) readers, copy editors...
I once had a vision of a site which combined all these talents, where the cover artists and sound book readers got, say, five per cent, translators maybe twenty or thirty, and so on.
