Kristine Kathryn Rusch has a blog with a whole lot of business tips for writers, and her end-of-year wrap-up and plan-for-next-year post has expanded to a miniseries of 6 posts (so far) about major changes in the publishing universe, and what that means for pro and would-be-pro authors. 

The short version: KEEP YOUR DAMN COPYRIGHTS. Books may not be "dying," but they're definitely not growing, and other related industries are. Traditional publishers don't know what's going to be big so they've decided they need to grab all the rights so they can be ready to exploit them, and they don't care what happens to authors who can't make a living while they're figuring it out.
