I too just put in a lot of my time and hard work on 2 audiobooks that took a month's time at easily 10 hours a day. After successful uploads of chapters meeting all ACX's criteria and then the 2 week review of product from ACX it was available for download only to find out 2 days later that it is being canceled due to copyright infringement from the rights holder. I had agreed to Royalty Share mind you because I figured in the long run I would make more money than for the amount of time went into it vs pay on the hour of the finished product (not that pph was offered). I have reached out to the rights holder to question this email received from ACX so I will have to see if I hear anything back, however my issue is that if my audio had to go through such stringent processing on the side of ACX shouldn't they also be as stringent on vetting right holders status. I'm pretty sure other publishers of audiobooks that have been around longer than ACX have not had any problems with finding out if their right holders are legitimate. I am pretty sure this is a legal issue waiting to happen against ACX. Let me know if anyone knows of a good lawyer wanting to take the case sounds like their are plenty of narrators and producers who are as pissed as I am.
