I know precisely what you meant. Unless authors change the terms for their existing books, though, they're just going to get screwed in the longer term.
And they don't know what the darknet is? Oh, not the term sure. But I think you might want to look at the way say...music...has spread across it and the rather vast number of people using it for music.
And again, in a lot of cases the authors already HAVE the rights, if they're willing to stand up to the publishers and exert their legal rights. As opposed to basically hoping that the publisher doesn't shaft them too badly.
