So how will they recoup most of it? Likely in this type of situation. Get Liberal colleges and Universities to book her as a speaker and make her book mandatory reading. The students {cough cough parent taxpayers} get roped into paying for it. Don’t like it happens all the time. Liberal colleges have morons writing crap like global warming who aren’t even scientist and have them as paid required read speakers which they also charge students to hear.

I recently watched a Big 5 publishers conference wailing about how to stop self published authors from depleting status and profits wo which the Big 5 have become accustomed. They moaned that the government had to do something to stop indie or self publishers.
I thought it was absurd but the moderator - who participated in an unseemly way (cutting off the loan dissenting voice, lecturing) - stated firmly that the legal situation would not change (suppress independent or self publishers) until the next administration. That had people scratching their heads on both sides of the aisle. Was she thinking Repubs would squash independent markets. Probably not. Well, was she thinking the next Dem president would “help” the big 5 publishers? Well, perhaps in exchange for 14 million....
My wife's business is predicated on the idea that these guys are the modern version of Nineteenth Century physicians who wouldn't wash their hands....
