I'm getting tired of all of these comments from lawmakers and media company executives on shutting down the internet, parts of it, ISPs and websites because they apparently contribute to bad things like piracy. If that is the case, why don't lawmakers outlaw guns? Guns are used to do very bad things like, I don't know, oh yeah kill people. For that matter, even people do bad things. Let's ban people too. Turn them into autonomous robots then the media companies - or other loud, rich jerks - could have lawmakers force us to buy whatever they want.
You assume because an author is self-published that they don't have an editor? I suggest you follow Kait Nolan an author who blogs about the indie process. http://kaitnolan.com/2010/12/29/reflections-on-this-self-publishing-thing/
The most popular indies on Amazon and the like do indeed have editors and crit partners.
And just because an author goes through a publishing house does not mean its better quality; consider the garbage that is the Twilight series.
