Yes, I think that's one of the reasons it made a big splash - since she hasn't really folllowed her own rules.
I've found one very good response to fanfiction from author Jim Butcher, actually. He allows it as Creative Commons licence, whereby the fanficcer agrees not to make a profit from it, and also waives any right to sue Jim if he writes a similar idea in a subsequent book.
It's sensible, it deals with fanfiction while still covering the author's ass and allowing the fans to have their sandbox...
Sanity prevails.
At least, until the next pro-author starts frothing at the mouth...
