Beta. I have some more for the artist.
Alpha. More baloney, I'm sure.
Kappa. We are listening, Beta.
Beta. Yeah, listen and be the judge. First of all, that fat publisher will put on the cover that he paid for it; that he didn't get it for free, like the others did...
Delta. I know! I know! Hurray! Beta, you are genius! All artists of all ages and nations have to pool money to raise a monument for you! I will personally donate a few bucks.
Alpha. Oh, yes. I'll put in few more to have all of your names carved in the pedestal along with the inscription "This is for a few stupid kids, who wanted artists to starve and art to die.''
Kappa. Delta, why don't you step down from your desk? Alpha, you are complaining, but you are the first to insult others.
Gamma. Delta, what did you want to say?
Delta. Don't you get it? Any publisher can pay to the artist and to write it on the cover!
Gamma. Why should they? They have it for free!
Delta. They sure do. But why does the first one pay then? Who wants it for free, can use it for free. Who wants to develop a brand, will pay! Get me? They pay for marketing, anyway. Payment to the author will be just one out of many marketing strategies. I would even say that every publisher would want to pay the author to have it on the cover that they paid. Only those who cannot afford it, won't pay the author. Get me?
Gamma. Look, what we have here! All of the publishers can publish the same work and will pay for this to the author?
Delta. And the work gets spread like crazy. The author gets exposed to unimaginable heights!
Alpha. Yeah, unimaginable. That's the word. Good fantasy.
Kappa. I like that magic.
