Rights, Royalties & Retailers: What Works?

Read any news surrounding the agency model, iPad, or Amazon, and one can easily conclude why rights standardization is so crucial today. The pie is only so big, and everybody wants a piece of it. Ebooks supplied the grist to the mill for revamping the business model; and everybody's lunging at once. Authors are self-publishing (the really big ones and the really small ones); publishers are playing with rev-share models; both wholesalers and retailers are looking at the discounts they give publishers. And the line between royalties and retailers is blurred, and challenging for old channel partners.  Join industry stakeholders as they talk candidly, and haggle, for their piece of the digital pie.
