Hahaha, that was entertaining. Do not post the contents of this email, or we'll sue you for copyright infringement?
I think this is a pretty good example of why people are rooting for TPB

Actually, writers, like musicians, get royalties for each book sold that they provided the material for.  Since books are more substantial than songs, they probably get more than a dollar per book, if it's a hard-back book.

Even softback books go for at least 5-10$, maybe more. And with the manufacturing cost being so low, anything thats even half fair should get the author over 2$ a book.

Little is fair in the media world. Typical royalties for both books and music albums are about 8-12% of the retail price per unit, and the agent takes a cut of that 8-12% too. So an author is lucky to get a 75 cents for a $9.99 paperback.
