Apologies to the mod for posting the link - didn't realize the Amazon link would be considered a violation of site policy. The intention was to show the ingenuity (?) of the pirates in 1) still getting by Amazon's filters for illegal content, and 2) using Amazon's own name as the publisher, which probably helped in point 1.

One would think these books would/should have red flags in the Kindle book upload software system.
Or maybe this is a post-1984 test of Amazon's new resolve to handle these situations more gracefully.
