I just can't get my head around that the publishers have been looking at music industry going from napster to torrent to spotify. Now they are looking at libgen and seem to be completely unable to connect the dots and come up with a coop that sells all their books with a monthly fee so that they could keep the profits instead of amazon or whatever startup that manages to circumvent all the legal hassles and make a spotify for books.
How hard can it be for a couple of larger publishers to start a common book streaming service with a note that all other publisherss welcome, you become a member in the coop and get to say how the coop works, coop takes a fee from sales just to cover operating costs and rest goes to publisher/author?
