I'm just going to point out that, "No one is making you freelance for anyone." is a valid argument only when the people know the deal from the start.
By Anon's own account, at least 1 person got paid months after the agreed to time on their contract. (It's unclear about the second person's 2 year wait being part of the contract or not...)
The defense being made here isn't even "Shitty contracts are part of the business" as much as, "Publishers not sticking to the contracts you signed is part of the business".
In which case, the situation changes from "No one is making you" to "Someone is MAKING you wait for money you've earned for work you did, according to the contract which they're unable to, or unwilling to uphold".
