I am author power who created a possible ailment vs. a defiance of the judicial system. I believe it is mathematically impossible for both of use to experience the same type of problems unless human involvement or human interference was the cause. I believe it is the prent on demand technology that is directly used against use as authors. We depend on them to put information on our royality reports. the industry needs to change. If we are to get a fair share of our success, then there needs to be an independant method of paying our royalities. If information could be loaded then our information could also be included as a safe guard to make sure the authors are paid for their work. We need independant regulators.
When there exist no opportunity for them to experience risk, huge up front fees, no regulation on charges, and constant suggestions on the author spending money without a proformace test, then if money were the true motive, then we would probably experience a reality that is similar to what we are experiencing. There would be no regulators, no true desire to create wealth to the authors, and a sence of purpose would be lost along the way of doing business.
our sucess would not matter as much as the money upfront, and since our money creates instant success for the publishers by giving it to them, then it would not matter if we did not get a fair return on our investment. our future investments would be similar to Two chicken walking in a slaughter house. our future royalites would be eaten right along with our desire to fight for what is right. We would lose our desire to live as authors. Most of use would prabably give up, and the next victim would replace us, and start the process all over again. It appears that you and I were ment to fail on purpose. No matter how good our book would become we appear to have been selected for food. Only math could put two different people in the same place, and only math could create different people from different walks of life meet in the containment field. It is call subraction.
