If they bought their businesses into the modern digital era instead of using a pre turn of the century business model they would spend less time and money on pursuing copyright. Perhaps your masters in the publishing industry might need to understand that?
The successful Baen model of digital distribution is not new and it works. A great pity the faceless old men running the big publishing corporations are so terrified of change they are simply frozen in fear. Evolution is critical to stay viable and they are NOT evolving to the changes around them.
No amount of personal comments or opinion from authors who made money and their respected name within the old system will change that.
