You are correct. The agency model only benefits the big houses, and nobody else. Yeah, it's why the big houses are so behind it, because they stand to fleece a lot of people for a lot of money. But then again, that seems quite common with all big companies these days. Fleece everyone you can get your hands on for as much money as you can get away with demanding. The movie and music industry has been doing it for decades, and only recently have they gotten called on the carpet about it thanks to the internet, and none of them are liking it one bit.
