Cory says that the mainstream publishers: book publishers, movie studios, record labels, and their allies/dupes like the Authors Guilds are acting against their own interests by resisting their own interests by making deals with Apple, Google, and Amazon. Instead, they should be making reasonable distribution deals with anyone who asks. An individual ought to be able to create his/her own internet radio station even if it had an audience of one.<p>Corey didn't explicitly say it this way, but the publishers should stop looking at net distributors as pirates. Instead deal with them as local retail dealers, like your neighborhood book store or movie theater. The current setup makes monopolists out Google and Apple. These gatekeepers will ultimately have more power than the publishers to the detriment of artists, publishers, and consumers alike.

Maybe I am being particularly thick right now but I am not entirely sure I follow what he is objecting to. Google (and Amazon) allow me to find authors I am interested in and buy their latest book - their self-published book because their publisher dropped them due to poor sales. How is Googlezon equivalent to publishers in this context?<p>Just because Googlezon have dominance (let's not have the M-argument again) in their market does not mean their cultural effect is the same as if there was only one book publisher. Google and Amazon aren't a publisher in this context, they are a discovery service.

Not a legal expert by any stretch but couldn't a later group of authors challenge who the outcome of the case applied to? If there in no way affiliated with the Authors Guild?

I've just been watching a Boston Legal episode (from series 4, ep 7), and fictionally, they sue YouTube. Not 'MegaView' or 'SuperVid', but YOUTUBE. I wondered how they can get away with using a real company in a fictional lawsuit?
