Right, so people are going to decide whether or not to publish with the single largest romance publisher based on contracts from 8+ years ago. Yes, I'm sure submissions will come screeching to a halt.

Uh, no.
"Class action" just means the attorneys believe there is a larger group who should be represented by this smaller group pressing this particular case.
The contracts from 2005 on all specified ebook royalty rates, and are not affected by this case.
I'm sure there are a lot of writers who had contracts in the specified time period (1999 to 2004). The question is how many of those titles were sold
as ebooks and in significant amounts.
