I don't know where he gets his ideas, period. It's laughable to suggest that the agency model is going to lead to more overall profits for the book publishers, and this will speed
anything.
And right, the public don't give a crap, Mr. Stross. Either the product is cheap and available, or they go to the darknet. Period.
Also, the current publishing industry being a smoking pile
is an upside from my perspective. Adapt or die, I'm quite indifferent to individual company's fortunes - I, like joe public, know what I want and what I'll pay (even if job public can't articulate it very well).
Oh, and stripping/destruction should be taxed as the ecologically unsound process it is.
