I like how this entire story is basically just quotes from VCs and tech companies. They couldn't be bothered to ask any objective academics or economists what our ongoing failure to have literally ANY functional antitrust enforcement means

None of this is industry naivete
if Steven Salpeter wasn't himself a former literary agent you might be like, ah perhaps this is a mistake made by new owners unfamiliar with publishing contracts
Apparently the SFWA won't name names but I will: ANALOG. The new contract under Must Read Magazines includes a moral rights waiver. And they are rather insistent about it. I'm guessing this applies to all the digests under MRM now, though I haven't seen those contracts. DON'T JUST SIGN. NEGOTIATE.
