They do give away some -- basically books that are 'info books' advertising,
but if they gave away the good books to sell ads and paid the authors a rev-share of the advertising money -- advertising for Walmart online or some other mainstream seller that was more non-competitive?

If Amazon did that you would be hard pressed to sell a digital book.

That is the way it is going -- the freemium model. Adapt or die ...

What if tubes shared the ad money with the content producers?

Tubes will find themselves in an adapt or die situation eventually.
Make the tubes pay for the content and stop dreaming about the DMCA and copyright laws to stop the bleeding -- it hasn't yet and never will. You cannot turn back the hands of time -- that is the second oldest lie. The oldest lie is I wont cum in your mouth
