Which means being able to keep control of their own works, and being allowed to continue to make their own choices about how it's presented, where it's presented, and for how much.
But how is the 'Newtwork' inadequate? Those who are interested in offering their works have been able to do so for ages, on their own sites. You've never pinpointed how the way the internet now works would be a sticking point for authors who wish to do their own thing. Nor pointed out how a new network would make their publishing chores easier.

Internet 2.0, but more likely 5.0 will not allow you to sell goods in the traditional manner. You will be allowed to upload. The price of your goods will then be determined algorithmically by demand. The network will also retain ownership over everything that is uploaded to it and send you royalty checks every quarter. (The network is a very strong AI at this point, it's all in the literature)
What exactly do you think the virtual space is? It is the collective consciousness of every user, everything contained within is owned by all.
The network is inadequate because it is unfinished.
But basically, once you show your work to another you have given up control about how it is presented and such, we've known this for thousands of years.
