It has alwsys existed but in recent years as the economic pressure has increased on the publishers they have responded by squeezing the authors with rights grabs, non-compete clauses, Hollywood accounting, self-dealing... and authors are starting to realize they no longer have to take it. So they are talking. And the more authors talk, the more authors realize that getting blacklisted by the publishers is no longer the end of the world. There is life in publishing outside manhattan.
