Awhile back, there was the bit about the blogger who posted a set of suggestions to authors, among which was the notion that they should relinquish all rights to their works fairly quickly because it was greedy of them to profit from their work. And then a bunch of authors hauled off and told him exactly how difficult it is to write a book and how little profit comes from it.

Or something to that effect.

Does anyone else remember this and who was involved with it? It would be a lovely anecdote for my paper, and no amount of googling is helping me find this thing.
