These were some good posts for me to read today, since I'm on a research binge for my next publishing foray. It definitely made me rethink my stance on e-book piracy. Thank you! ♥

I'm going to have to read these later this week. I'm pretty much done with the moral argument about filesharing- the morality issue isn't a useful thing to wrestle with, compared to the real questions - "How can a creator make a living?" and "How can a consumer find art/books/music?"

I have a really hard time buying the notion that filesharing is the doom of creators given how often throughout history we see that traditional publishing companies have often been taken the lion's share of profits and/or given creators pretty wack deals in the process.

I suspect the functional future will be a combination of a) really low priced things at a convenient central seller or two (aka, the iTunes solution), b) "The ransom model" (the Kickstarter solution), c) subscription models ("pay $2 a month" kind of things) and d) merchandising models.

Right now we have all of those, they're just not fully shaken out and organized yet.
