Hi.
I never actually said that a narrator shouldn't! be paid for their
performance, only that the relative prices of audio books are! actually way
more. This might be because Uk licencing costs extra, or just that you are
not familiar with the prices of paperbacks.

Hi Tom.
Actually, my comments about audio books were based on realistic pricing that
I have seen on price comparison sites, as well as the prices I have myself
paid for people like audible.co.uk. Tis might be because Uk publication
rights cost more than us ones, (there are lots of things that
The reason why those that record audible books get no royalties is
because they are not the one that wrote the book. They are paid to
read the book and that is just a job. You really study that and still
don't know how royalties on products works?

I've been very intrigued with this awesome discussion on the question

discourse. I just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth regarding

Hi Dark,
First, let me say you guys in the U.K. are seriously getting ripped
off or things are darned expensive, but I can't imagine paying $57 or
more for an audio book. Just out of curiosity I checked Amazon.com and
found the complete unabridged version of Knights of Dark Renown on CD
for $41

You know I love writing games. Maybe it would have been nice to be
able to make some money at it. But even early on I heard that
there was not much money to make. But one major reason that I have

Hi tom.
another crytical issue I find with piracy is actually who! gets the money.

Hi josh.
i'm afraid I disagree on distribution completely, since if you look at the
markup that goes into prophit, even for something with little to no cost it
is unbelieveable. i would be quite happy paying individual people, it is
paying massive companies that I disagree with.
i do agree
Dark,
It actually is very much related to games, as we were talking about the reasons
for audio game piracy. In your eagerness to offer philosophical talking points,
you entirely missed the point I was making. Hence why I referenced Android as
well.
The days of small and individual developers
HI josh.
I freely admit my knolidge of apple's business structure is not exact,
though even from owning an Iphone I can draw conclusions. I do not say all
coorporations are evil, they are simply in pursuit of prophit which, as marx
stated is a none moral system from which you cannot derive

Hi Dark,
I've got a few comments here I think need to be voiced as it seems you
and I have some serious intellectual differences in the way we view
economics and business in general, and I don't think it is possible to
have an intelligent discussion until those differences are voiced.
I know
Hi Josh,
Well said. I don't think I could have stated that any better than you
already have.
As you pointed out the world is made up of infinite shades of gray,
and extremes of any kind are always bad for the end user. I've
experienced this often enough in my own life to know this to be true.
Hi Dark,
Actually, this does very much relate to games since the issue is
distribution of products weather it be games, audio books, music, or
anything else. The problem here is that you have an incorrect
perception of Apple's model and charged ahead with your philosophical
talking points without
Hi dark,
I won't go into all of the points I'd been planning on addressing below,
because Josh and Thomas have pretty much already covered that ground quite
nicely.
However, I will comment / question a few points below.
Thanks,
Cara :)

Hi Cara,
You raised a very good point in your last post. Sometimes a game
developer needs to stop answering calls, responding to email, or cut
down on list activity to work on games. If a developer does that he or
she could be accused of being impersonal just because they are trying
to make time
maybe devs could get others to handle their list mail.
its just a thought, ofcause said person would need to eventually get payed.
I'd do it for anyone that wants it.
free at first but if I expanded obviously I'd need to be payed,
something like 10 bucks an hour or whatever or well games,
But Shaun, then we'd become corporations and then Dark would hate us! lol!
*smile* Dark, just kidding! *hug*
Just couldn't resist! :)
Shaun, in all seriousness would you actually do that? if so that's way cool of
you to offer!
This is the sort of community involvement I'm talking about. That
