Ridiculous. By your reasoning, Steve, none of the authors whose books are sold on Amazon should demand a percentage of those sales, because the jury’s still out on whether or not the Amazon business model will work in the long run. Best to let their books be sold for free on the Internet for a few years, until management decides it’s making enough of a profit to start sharing it with those who provided the content in the first place. After all, it’s management who cares most about writers.
Mind if I collect all of your columns into a book and start selling it at $14.99 a pop? Don’t ask me to pay you — I’ll let you know when I start earning a profit. TRUST ME.
