From a response by CJ in I need some secret agents…

There’s a story behind the dwindling number of e-books of mine out there. Some years ago there was a company called Peanut Press that contracted with DAW to do some e-books. I received a few hundred dollars for this, and then Peanut sold itself to an entity that then sold pieces of itself (as I understand) multiple times, or divided itself multiple times, each piece thinking it had all these rights.

Now, it seemed to me that I should be paid for the books they were selling. DAW thought it should be paid, too. So the Penguin legal guys that represent DAW as well as Penguin got on the case and sent out some cease and desist letters, which appear to have hit the target. Books are vanishing from Kindle and Fictionwise
There is more interesting stuff in this post about FictionWise and about the Google book settlement.
