Scribd turns into marketplace: enables DRM, offers exceptional deal for writers

Quote:
They will be offering an 80/20 profit-sharing deal in favor of writers. Writers will be able to charge whatever they want. In addition, Scribd will not force any content control (although they will have a piracy database and bounce copyrighted scans) and will let writers choose to encrypt their books with DRM or not.

If they can properly set up the system - shouldn't be a challenge - this could mean a huge draw for writers, especially indie ones, with no publishers but even a big gun can decide (s)he will make more money...
