Quite, you're insistent that not one iota of change occur, because your own business model is dependent on the status quo. That status quo was dependent on maintaining scarcity, which is no longer true.
New authors don't need to go through a publisher to start building a readership. Even if big publishers survive, they can expect to face not people coming cap in hand, but people who already have a readership.
Tis just too bad if you pinned your hopes on nothing changing (since it already is).
