DKKJWhatJ, Welcome to the foum, and many thanks for the time taken to gather the information that you were kind enough to share with us! Printed and filed.
With just what was posted available, there were lawsuits filed as late as Jan. 9, 2009- and by more than one plaintiff. There may have been more filed at a later date, but just working with what I have.
I would like to know how many ( IF any ) of these suits were resolved to completion. By that I mean, say, if a monetary settlement was reached, completion would mean paid in FULL. The reason I ask is that one suit included a previous judgement where a settlement was reached, but never paid except for one payment. This caused a revisitation with a new suit. That case was from 2006, and the newer suits included the same plaintiffs.
Again, I don't bring this up in either a frivolous OR nasty manner. Though I can easily prove "Good Faith" if a publisher wants me to, I'd prefer to know in advance if I have to.
In other words, are the so-called "quality big 3" going to become a liability to my business? SC already is, by their own actions alienating venues. What about the rest?
