So once again when someone disagrees with the idea of "every digital book is valueless and should therefore be free" they are accused of "rabidly defending" the old business model?
So easy to make straw man arguments rather than actually discussing the topic at hand isn't it?
I and many others have repeatedly stated that yes the old ways must change and that authors and publishers must adapt. However, when we disagree that the change needed is to simply force authors to give their work away for free we are accused of defending the "old ways".
Then to top it all of those self same "old ways" are used and applied to one particular aspect of the digital era in order to justify the position that digital media should be free!
