From: New York Times ~ Random House Cedes Some Digital Rights to Styron Heirs
After publicly staking a claim to the right to publish electronic versions of books that already have a long history in print, Random House appears to be letting go of digital rights to several works by one prominent author without a fight, potentially opening the way for other authors to take their e-books away from traditional publishers.
Seems Random House found out they could not legally back up their trash talk. It will be fun to watch the rest start to fall. Bye bye back catalog and investors. Legal precedence has a chilling effect on the inherently stupid.
