Right you are, Marchus. I just saw on the Amazon site, "Amazon Publishing will acquire all rights to your new stories, including global publication rights, for the term of copyright."

That might help a bit; authors will now have to choose whether they wish to try to make money or whether they would rather have more people read their works. I'm guessing that many of the FoLCs here will probably choose eyeballs over dollars/Euros/insert-currency-of-choice-here.

I just hope that WB, etc. won't decide to crack down on not-for-profit fanfic postings, though, now that they have an avenue by which they can increase their bottom line via fanfic.
