If you are an author who might be affected by the suit, the legal team offered these guidelines: “If you signed a contract with Harlequin Enterprises B.V. or Harlequin Books S.A. between the years 1990-2004, you might be a member of the class. You would need to examine your contracts from that time period and determine whether the contracts mention a specific royalty for electronic or digital rights. This can be found under the “Royalty” section of the contract and will be listed as either 6% or 8% of cover price. If your contract does not contain a specific percentage for electronic or digital sales, then chances are you qualify as a member of the class.”

I am totally confused. If you didn't sell the rights they cannot legally publish your book AFAIK? If you did sell the rights you cannot join the class action.
Obviously I am missing something.
