Realize and it will go easier on you that people are not the solution. They are the problem and what we have here is a problem of communication, and so off to the "re-education farm" for you.

I am not convinced that is the case at all. While publishers (and similar) continue to stand by their 19th-20th century distribution and business model the problems will remain and nothing changes. This is what they want to continue. It is simply too hard for them to make the required changes to bring them into line with progressive companies like Baen.
Baen is probably the most used example of "getting it right", because they simply are.
DRM, agency pricing collusion, lawyers, canvased politicians and falsified statistics spruiking their line of reasoning are their bulwark against change.
