Well I generally think it's the right of an author to decide whether they want to allow fanfic or not, but I dislike those authors who, along with objecting to fanfic, feel the need to call it perverse and a blight on their writing, or some other offended nonsense like that.
No matter how much fanfic gets written, the canon material will stay exactly the same, and even if the author bans fanfic, it won't stop readers from thinking up their crazy totally-opposite-what-the-author-intends ideas. It may just discourage a few from posting it online.
I do think fanworks acts as publicity though - I wouldn't be in my current fandom if not for fanfic - a fandom which has 6 DVD sets, going on 7, in canon material. I have bought the first 6 and am awaiting the release of the 7th.
It just so happens it's a TV fandom, with notoriously fan-savy creators, so the issue of an offended creator doesn't exist, but my next fandom may be a book fandom again.
That said, I won't knowingly get involved in any fandom that has an author who has expressed anti-fanfic sentiments. That does not mean all writers who have requested no fanfic (ones who may only do so due to legal worries), just those who have spouted particularly harsh vitrol about it.
