i personally know bands that got radio play and labels and had to keep their dayjobs to pay the rent. for that matter, death metal legend immolation and horror punk icon the misfits members all have day jobs to pay their bills.
i am happy to buy books and ebooks, knowing that part of the money goes to the author regardless of the author's financial standing. i only wish more of it went to them, and that they were paid on time and correctly. i'd love to see an author's coop publishing company!
