Ten years ago, I attended a symposium in Toronto where one of the speakers, the Vice President of Microsoft Canada talked about how the Internet likened to a fancy piece of paper. Since that time however, applications have enabled to take independent publishing to new heights as artists of every medium to create, produce, edit and publish their own work; maintain control over their distribution, licensing and copyright rights; and even the choice to charge or not patrons for purchasing copies of their material. The Internet, in fact, these days vaguely resembles now a fancy piece of paper.
