If this is about that dust-up where Amazon said they wanted to start publishing fanfic for select properties (properties that would give them permission), it wasn't so much older fans going "No, fanfic is unpublishable!" and it was a lot more of people familiar with Tales of Horror: The Contract Edition (which often is the older fans, but not exclusively) going, "Ooh, hey, that is a...seriously crappy deal that they're offering, but tacking on the prestige of "publishing" to while they take your intellectual work, including anything original you come up with--as many fanfic writers do--and giving you beans for it."

Didn't that whole thing boil down to a way to undercut 'work for hire' writers that write (mostly kind of crappy) movie adaptation novels and tv series tie-ins and stuff? I dunno if that's what Amazon/the various companies selling licenses intended, but that's what it looked like. Also, if I was gonna pay money for a fic, I'd rather pay half to the original creator and half to the fic author rather than 99% to a corporation and 1% to the fic author.
