Wowio contract changes

I haven't seen any discussion of this here, so I thought I would throw it
out for people to chew on. With a change in ownership, the Wowio free PDF
hosting site is making some major revisions to its contracts.

Here's one webcomic artist's analysis of the changes.

Wowio has been popular, at least with some webcomic artists, as a way to put
out collections of their earlier stuff in a way that might earn them a
little money. But with the new terms including the right to display the
interior contents of a work on their pages, and keep most of the ad revenue,
some of the webcomic artists I know have gotten a little iffy on it.

Though some of my friends, reading the link above, just dismiss it as "Oh,
more webcomics drama."

I'd be interested to know what folks here think.
