I am interested in whether there is any recognition by authors/publishers/trade associations etc that geographically restricted contracts do not make sense for ebooks, and, arguably, encourage piracy.
I would like to see an end to royalties with instead a flat fee that is recouped against future sales. Copy editing and distribution should be sold as separate services, particularly the latter where costs should be much lower than for traditional publishing. Such an open, transparent fee structure would make it much easier for authors to shop around for the best deal, and aid competition between publishers.
