If Amazon has its way, there will be many fewer people.

Wow. And here I thought that Amazon has a
Publishing Arm.
Thank you for helping me to understand that all new books written/new songs composed that are still within copyright are by hacks that can't compete.
We should get right on that old book/old track burning tour asap. Can't have these poor hack authors and musicians starving out there!
