Copyright Lawsuit

Edit all your pages so they are not plagiarized. Then tell them to give you proof that you have plagiarized content.

Usually they get lost.

Then I'd tell your payment processor and domain provider that you might sue them for damages for blocking your accounts without a proper reason.

If goes to court you'll win as it's not plagiarized. They'll waste their time. Maybe give us their name, we can research. I think might be some lawyer trolls

This is horrible advice!

whenever I have approached people about stealing my IP, I already have screenshots, video recordings, etc... in other words EVIDENCE.
Changing it after the fact and telling me to pound salt just makes me not negotiate.
When I have gone after someone’s domain registrar and/or payment processor, I have worked with their legal department to provide my proof. I have even included them in my lawsuits and offered to dismiss on them for turning all information on the account holder over, this also insulates them from claims from you since they were originally named in the suit and can block access as long as the suit is ongoing. If I can’t get good enough info, or obviously fake info, I’ll usually file a John Doe case, which keeps it open while searching and keeps the domain/payment gateway down, or I’ll seek judgement and then ask the payment gateway for funds(got PayPal to pay out 2 locked accounts this way).
But this is all within the US court system... but yeah, just changing it after the fact is pointless.

Do not reply until you talk to lawyer. Lawyers advice will probably also be to ignore all emails and wait how it develops. They’ll also tell you what are possible outcomes so you have some peace of mind and know what you can expect.

Seriously, stop being stingy and go talk to a lawyer, then go talk to 2 more. It shouldn’t cost you more than a couple $100. Email them your questions in advance so they can prepare. Lawyers can’t answer all your questions from top of their heads, they need to prepare. If they try to yolo it, you'll know they are crap lawyers. I once visited a lawyer who had my questions in advance, and then he went to read my emails after I was already in his office and then he proceeded “googling” for answers. I walked right out. Don't expect you'll find a good lawyer in one try, unless you can get him recommended via someone you trust.

I am selling their books

In that case you can give up your domain... But even with screenshots I doubt they will be very reliable in court. Everybody can make a random screenshot...

I'd say to hire a writer and rewrite the book and improve the content as well. Then no need to stress out.
