Eh. I'd rather the stories stay available to all on the internet than cause their authors all the hassles associated with publishing companies.

Does anyone know how things played out with the Disney Must Pay Task Force? Because I heard about when the guy who literally wrote the OT Star Wars novelization received the money they owed him (after calling a lot of negative publicity to the issue), but not what happened to any of the lower-profile people Disney was stiffing while continuing to rake in profits from their work. And then Unbound/Boundless seems to have copied the exact same playbook, plus claiming they're going to train AI on the content they stole from authors and stopped sending royalty payments for.

If anything happened that was supposed to deter companies from breaking their contracts with writers and pretending the goods are solely theirs to profit from, that doesn't seem to be working at all.
