I actually think a large part of why there have been far fewer C&Ds aimed at fanfiction in the past ten years - and a concomitant increase in public awareness and approval of fanfiction - is that major copyright owners are aware that OTW exists and is ready to provide legal support to anyone who wants to fight a C&D, and the C&D system of suppression relies entirely on people being too poor, scared, or unaware to try to fight in court.

Has anyone tried posting fanfic of Anne Rice's works to AO3 yet? Now there's an author whose wishes regarding her precious creations I have absolutely NO respect for.

ETA: Huh. Apparently people have. Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice is a category. Glad people stopped caving in to that prima dona.
