PSA for any Apub authors whose books are in the Anthropic settlement list: Amazon is not participating in the settlement, since they have an investment in Anthropic. When you submit your claim form, you DO NOT have to list Amazon as an add'l rightsholder, & can claim 100% of settlement money.

Authors: if you use INaudio/Findaway to distribute, check Libro.fm
Are your links still active? Like if you search your name and click on a book, does it come up "no longer available"?

As said below, knowledge is your greatest ally and your best defense--not just against scams, but misconceptions and mistakes. All writers need to be familiar with the basics of copyright.
Copyright is a front-and-center issue in the ongoing class action against Anthropic. Thankfully, @victoriastrauss.com of SFWA's Writer Beware® was kind enough to outline the basics, myths, & issues for us this week.

Scammers are really intent on scaring authors into not contacting someone like me. For example, this "confidentiality notice", appended to a fake offer of publication from Celadon Books, which threatens "blacklisting" of the author "across the entire publishing industry"
