Authors get rights
returned to them by the cancellation of contracts. And how precisely do you see them losing rights to any books of theirs as a result of publisher disdain, short of the publisher deciding to sit on books that they could be making money off of?
I agree with a lot of what you say... but some of these big-bad-publisher arguments do step into the territory of whiny, and pretend none of the responsibility belongs to the author, when, indeed, the author's active decision is required for the publisher to have any rights at all.
