Good for them. My wife and I were just talking about the same sort of thing, though about publishing.

I've been thinking the same thing about publishing as well. I've read so many poorly written, poorly edited books from Big Name publishers! Also, there's a huge difference in creative quality in books written a couple generations after TV came into play from those written before.

I'd like to write in retirement but I think I'd like to just work hard and go it alone with publishing and marketing. If I'm good, people will read it. If I suck, the people who watch a lot of TV might like it. Anyway, this is a business model I'll be watching as it spreads to other industries where a mediocre middleman controls the success of the artist.
