"We should all recognize — and celebrate—the importance of commercial
publishing, for authors and creators everywhere. Commercial publishing creates
the income that authors depend upon to have the freedom to create great new
works. Without commercial publishing, much of the greatest that will be won’t
be written.

But we must also recognize that culture needs more than commercial publishing.
If the business model of commercial publishing controlled our access to our
past, then much of who we were, and much of how we learned to be better, would
simply disappear."

Cheers,
