This article is aimed at Small Press publishers, and Self Published writers, but the general terms will fit any industry where there is one dominant company.
John Degen is terrified. He’s scared of the future. I can’t blame him. Change is scary. It has John ranting about all the people who want to steal from him, and not looking at all the people who want to buy…

If you think the Long-Gun Registry was a debacle, think again. Wait till you see the CPU Registry.
