If every publisher doesn't do this, I would not be surprised to see come kind of collective action, depending on how many authors are affected.
Update: we just received a statement from Macmillan/Tor taking full responsibility for failing to register copyright, promising to make us whole and pay us any settlement money we lost out on due to that error, and promising to find & correct the lapses that caused this.
Every pub should do this.
Every pub should do this.
this part right here is gonna create massive resentment in the industry. the copyright registration system and the fact that you apparently have to pay a bonus fee for protection from big companies pirating your work (and that tons of publishers never paid the bonus fee...)

@failingwriters.bsky.social review: I discovered The Failing Writers Podcast a couple of years ago and have been a dedicated listener ever since. They even critiqued a submission of mine, which was a real high point for me. I love that they don’t take themselves too seriously, as seen in the name!
