Much more concisely put.
Normally I'm not a fan of populist/class-warfare arguments but to a certain extent the Schism in publishing *is* a class warfare issue.
The systen-that-was rewards the million seller authors at the expense of everybody else whereas the emerging system offers up the *hope* of earning an honest buck or two from writing to the "less fortunate".
We're not at the pitchforks and torches stage yet but it isn't totally out of the question.
