What victims? The authors? They've chosen to participate in the current system and signed their own contracts. As long as their in league with the publishing houses that I disagree with, why would I support them? Do they get a raw deal? Yep - but that was by their own consent. I choose not to consent.
There are other options for them, and it's a shame they didn't pursue them.
By signing their contracts with the devil, they've chosen to stand by the devil (as I see the publishing industry across the entire realm of media).
Harsh? Sure. Do some get stuck in the cracks? Sure. But we live in a reality, not an ideal-ity.
