I've often wondered about this myself. Since becoming friends with several authors on Facebook and via yahoo groups, I have found that most authors firmly believe they have no rights at all when it comes to publishers. I guess it's like those of us who work minimum wage jobs under horrible conditions - because there's nothing else out there, or we can't afford to quit.
