You seriously don't think that there are any traditionally-published authors who are satisfied with their contracts? As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I buy a lot of SF/Fantasy books published by Baen. Most Baen authors seem to have been with them for a very long time and be happy enough with the deal they get. I see no rush of Baen authors into self-publishing, despite the fact that Baen's contracts are non-exclusive, and hence allow such sales.
