I don't see this as a good thing. I think this is clearly going to poke too many holes into what could be a very functional and beneficial platform for both sides, just because people want to cling onto the ways of the physical. I see them as two very different things, and if you plan on reselling, keep buying the damn discs and they will have to keep making them. My only real gripes with the current online market is that despite a lack of shipping costs, we still get screwed immensly compared to other markets, and anything they offer online should be made available infinitely. Otherwise, the likes of the iTunes and Android market has opened the doors for so many smaller developers with their big ideas, and the control over their own pricing has helped them find their feet better in the market. Why are we trying to destroy this for such a petty "right". Where does this stop? Does this cover the likes of ebooks as well? If it doesn't then it will. Does anyone realise the amount of work involved in trying to facilitate such a stupid thing? Would I, as a hopefully soon to be independent author, fart around with supplying my books to Europe and having to deal with all this malarky, or am I more likely to say screw you, buy the more expensive physical thing and I'll just sell to the rest of the world? Once again, I think certain people blindly like to try and stick it to "the man" without realising how much they're stunting the people they're claiming to champion. |
