I'd make sure to become rich and famous first, and then buy me my own
publishers (a group of Swedish authors did this recently, 'cos they thought
they should have a bigger slice of the money).

Or I might be All Upright And Integrity, and refuse to have my stuff published
under conditions I dislike. Little risk anyone 'll have come around to do away
with unemployment benefits by '10.
