That's another consequence of the generation we live in, they're becoming less and less tolerant of the big companies that manufacture our culture. They want a way to be directly involved with the creator. They want the money they give to go to the author, not the go-betweens.
If only there were some new communications path that would enable authors to sell directly to their customers and cut out the bloated middle man. Oh wait!
