I was also going to add this link here from a different poster to the rape apologist analogy person:
I'm probably the best example of what not to do in these situations, but I choose to take podficcer-author issues on a case by case basis. If I made a good faith effort to contact an author, - who didn't have BP - waited for months before posting, and then the author asked me to take it down, I would probably say no and suggest taking hir name off of the recording.
So, yet, people are boasting of giving authors a chance and then treating them as fair game.
