Entirely possible that there have been complaints from copyright holders against MR. It is pretty darn silly, but then most copyright law is - and that is my personal opinion only.

We still love your posts if they got links instead of full quotes.

Edit: As to the article itself. This may be true if only considering traditional publishing. Self publishing through free self publishing platforms (e.g KDP, Nook) is not a thing of the future. I wonder if this escapes Jim's sister or if she specifically complains about getting published traditionally. Or rather not published. I think it is interesting that she uses her close relationship to best selling Jim as leverage. And if not as leverage, why mention it at all?
...er that's Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat.

Consider this, Jim has never attempted self-publishing so why should his sister necessarily write about it. It's in neither of their spheres of expertise. And as to "uses her close relationship to best selling Jim as leverage" that's pure hokum, IMHO.
