The budding e-book controversy by Michael Mellin
Former Random House exec Michael Mellin warns that his former employer is stretching the definition of the word “book” in order to justify a grab of author’s rights. pull quote: You can be certain that Random House only claims these extraordinary "book" rights for the works of authors whose agents are too weak or naive to have already negotiated their own revised standard contracts with Random House.
I hope that Random House gets the trouncing in court that their hypocrisy and bullying so richly merit, but they probably won't. It's all a calculated risk, after all, and when you're nearly the only game in town what does it matter if you offend some mid-list authors and their agents.
