Heh.... Well I won't discuss the quality of Mr Brown's work, but his royalties now will make his books more expensive for the publisher, and I'm sure the associated costs are also larger, especially legal costs. Same for any big seller like King, Danielle Steele etc.
As far as I know, none of the writers published by Baen are requesting / demanding /getting the same kinds of advances and royalties as a best-selling author, and hopefully they don't get sued as often either.
