Richard Poynder has published ""Falling Prey to a Predatory OA Publisher: Individual Failure or Community Problem?" in Open and Shut?.
Here's an excerpt:
As it happens I discovered last year that in 2016 COPE published a case study exemplifying the kind of deceptive practices predatory publishers engage in, and in which it mooted a solution.
The COPE case study points out that because, as a rule, predatory publishers do not ask for copyright to be assigned to them, authors are able to demand that their paper is taken down. Once they have done that, the case study adds, they can then resubmit the paper to a "legitimate journal" with an editorial note explaining what had happened.
