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.

So you are saying that all information should be made public to everyone once it has been made available to anyone? Can't say I agree, but my former roommate is convinced that the FBI should have access to all communication made by anyone in the world by anyone, anywhere. Don't agree with her either although she is much better educated and has travelled the world at a pretty young age.
