>it struck me as kind of odd that an author was complaining about some people paying for his book while some people didn't.  
 
It was even worse. King lectured his fans, "no stealing from the blind newsboy"--as if he were an impoverished crippled child (insert observation about the white male Boomer mindset here). Also, he expected people to pay a separate fee for a new copy for anyplace/device they wanted to read it: so if you downloaded a chapter at work, he expected/demanded you download and pay a second time to read it at home, or a third time to download and bring it on your laptop. When people said, "I don't have to buy separate home/plane/office paperback copies to read" he just snarled and snapped and ridiculed them. It was truly unbelievable for a fan, watching his mind implode like that.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
