Once an author consents to his/her work being published, they are SOL regarding snippets being posted to either reference it or to entice readers to read it, as far as I am concerned. And when I say snippets, I mean just that - no more than a couple of paragraphs.
If an author doesn't want his/her work to be available, the work shouldn't have been published in the first place. No one forced them to take that money, but once they did, I really have very little sympathy for their post-publication attempts at control.
My sympathy is reserved for those writers who are getting screwed out of being introduced to a new audience by publishers' restrictions and inaction.
