All I can say is ughhhhhhhh to all this. I'm finding the academic series of articles you mention fascinating but absolutely agree that sales data being public to all would be...well. Yeah. Everything you said. It's so frustrating to see the way we've moved from the term artists to the term creators with the implication being that creators create *content* and *entertainment* but NOT art because art is for snobs. Or something.

great commentary and thanks for the links to those articles up top. I agree making Book Scan data public is dangerous, BUT, why couldn't a registered author at least understand sales statistics in their subcategory?
