Old name author refers to authors who established themself before Indie publishing became a viable ramp-up option. The report comes from 2014--five years back takes you to 2009.
Before KDP moved to 70/30.
Before the conspiracy drove hordes of readers to Indies.
Before tradpub contracts crossed the line from "merely" exploitative to downright toxic.
Before all publishers "coincidentally" switched ebook royalties to 25% of net.

Things were truly different in 2009.
