Maybe an unpopular opinion, but it's not the industries that needs to change, but rather the paradigm of our economic system.

@jrburkh Thing is, you can't just tell a guy who's trying to scrape together enough for food that "We need to change the paradigm of our economic system." That's not a thing that can be done quickly or effectively right now, and writers need to protect their income NOW. The only thing that can be done is for them to aggressively protect their rights while lobbying the governments so they don't die while waiting for reform.
