Given that a number of authors are quite happy with their publishers, perhaps the real issue is that maybe the author in question might be a bit on the greedy side, or simply doesn't understand why his books didn't do as well as he thought they should. Remember "the publishers" is a pretty big and diverse group of people, not the monolith that some seem to think they are. Publishing contracts aren't the monolith that some think they are either.
