Help Defend P&E--veinglory
The author warning site Preditors and Editors is being sued. [edited].
From their site: "Help Defend P&E: Unfortunately, there are those who do not like P&E or its editor because we give out information that they would prefer remain hidden from writers. Usually, they slink away, but not this time. P&E is being sued and we are asking for donations to mount a legal defense in court. Please click on the link below and give if you can to help protect P&E so it can continue to defend writers as it has for the past eleven years."
Paypal donation button here.
Edited to add: Okay, so maybe there is more to this than I am aware of? Any info?
Edited again to add: It seems like this suit has a personal (?) element. So I will leave you to make your own judgment.

OH HELL! Are you serious?? I'll repost..... I'll see what I can do for a donation.
That is just... ridiculous.

Ok, deleted because Kayleigh stands corrected. This is not about the situation I assumed it was about.

I don't have links, just personal knowledge about one situation (which apparently is not the cause of the lawsuit) and some rumormill gossip about what I suspect is the lawsuit material. ;)
It's on the link you have.
There's discussion about the filed suit, and then a counter suit. I'm not sure of the reason behind the suit. That wasn't given, unless I missed it.
But after reading the many articles about PA, I can probably hit close to the mark that P&E has just hit too close to home too many times with their information.
Just my guess.

Hmm...I can't access that forum. Crap.
And I'm 0 for 2. It's not about the other thing I thought it was about, either! lol.

I'm sorry Dave has to go through this. If it wasn't for his advice I might still be hesitant about taking legal actions again an e publisher who owes me money and is withholding rights to one of my books. He's even added a Not Recommended notation to this publishers on the P&E site. Hopefully this will help spare other authors the same headache.
P&E provides a great service to authors. If an e publisher doesn't want to be singled out negatively all they have to do is do right by their authors.

Dear Author has the dish. From what little is given, it looks like Dave in a recent comment on P&E about Vic suggested vaguely that Vic "infringed" on a contract and urged anyone who had problems with such lawyers to lodge a report with relevant authorities.
I like P&E but I also wish that he is more specific at times as to why he tags a publisher as "Not Recommended" - sometimes no reason is given, just the tag. Likewise, I wish he has explained a little bit more how Vic "infringed" (breached?) this mysterious contract.

Renee, that's a lie and you know it.
