       "Fa Bd Comics" books on SCAMazon: don't buy them. A new article on the blog about the worst publisher reusing my artworks and the one of the Pepper&Carrot community. Full story here: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article959/fa-bd-comics-books-on-scamazon-don-t-buy-them

       @p Two on the three are clearly copyright infringement. Only "Heritage" is legal, but it has so many other problem of low quality, changing the meaning of the story, with faking my endorsement that it is on the edge of illegality for the Creative Commons Attribution too.

       @davidrevoy wha?  doesn't it cost money to publish on amazon?  They must make a decent business out of ripping people off, and plainly aren't spending any money or effort on quality control.  Having your own name linked on it and thus likely to be blamed, apart from not getting any money from sales, would be the worst part if this happened to me.

       @bimshwel Apparently, you can publish at zero cost thanks to Amazon print-on-demand system: you send a PDF and they print books one by one when someone purchase them.  So, it's the open door to quickly made content to try to sell it. I have the same system on DriveThruComics: except DriveThru require me to buy each book before I can publish a PDF, to be sure I agree with colors, and the quality. Apparently, this quality step is not part of Amazon process...

       @davidrevoy Ugh. What a terrible job they did. I marked all 3 book reviews as helpful.

       @davidrevoy that is terrible and sad that people would blatantly steal artwork and profit from it. I am glad to see you posted this.
