Print publications screwing authors?

I just read Mike Gunderloy's post on Fawcette screwing him out of his payment. Is this common in the print industry? If so, I can't imagine why anyone would write at all. Take them to small claims!

This story certainly makes me appreciate my writing relationship with Jonathan Goodyear (the angryCoder) than much more. He paid per agreement and on time! Perhaps it is the sign of the future for on-line vs. off-line?

No, fortunately, Fawcette's behavior is not common in the print industry. I've worked with many print publications over the years, and never been treated this way by any other.

Michael - which article(s) on angryCoder is yours? I've written several for him too - I think the next one he puts up will be from me. Just curious.
