Author Sherry Argov has sued the Spanish publisher Group Planeta for copyright infringement and breach of contract while publishing Spanish-language editions of two of her books.
Publishers Weekly reported on the lawsuit: “[Argov alleges] Planeta and its Editorial Diana Mexicana subsidiary have under paid Argov by at least $1 million by engaging in a number of practices that included: assigning the book to unknown entities without Argov’s permission; deceiving the author by paying royalties based on paperback rather than hardcover prices; selling editions in England and Europe with acquiring the rights; and concealing publication and sales of different editions of the books.”
Argov is the author of Why Men Marry Bitches: A Woman’s Guide to Winning Her Man’s Heart. At the moment, fans are waiting for the audio book version of Why We Love Bitches: Uncensored. It will not be available anywhere except for the official series website store.
