So what you're suggesting is that publishers and authors need to be enabled to behave as hit and run artists? Nothing else matters because the poor sucker's exhausted his quota for the month and the publisher/author got paid anyway?
Would you walk into a library and check out an unknown book without perusing it first? Do we start locking up the bookshelves and put up "No touching" signs to accompany the "Keep Silence" ones?
Does the reader even matter in this world view of what reading is about, or is it all about maximising revenue for the publishers and authors?
