Of course, for that (low) 5-figure "industry standard" investment, they control the book for a hundred years.
For Amazon's zero investment they control it until the author clicks "unpublish" the first time Amazon annoys them enough.
Yup, definitely adds context.

Look, I understand where the tradpub authors are coming from: they signed the best deal they could get based on the world they lived in way back when. It isn't pleasant to wake up in a different world where the best deal they could get is widely disparaged and places him at a disadvantage to newcomers, to say nothing of veterans who managed to get rights reverted before tradpub stopped allowing rights reversion. (It's like signing a 6%mortgage and not being able to refinance when everybody else is getting 3% deals.)

But pretending things haven't changed serves nobody but the old discredited regime.
