Setting aside, for the moment, the fact that to most all appearances, the RIAA is a bunch of gibbering idiots, bent on their own destruction by simultaneously driving away
both their customers
and their providers, you make an excellent point, Xenophon.
The
perception that money is being lost is a big deal, and is primarily what drives a lot of the obstacles that e-books are facing. Consequently the
absence of that perception, not only on the part of Baen, but also on the parts of their authors is an even bigger deal, in my estimation.
