Are any of the authors here using Zimmu.com to give away free copies of your books?

Or are any of your books there without your permission?

I spotted a high number that I have received over the last few years, direct from authors or from Amazon, but see several others that are listed at Amazon (and elsewhere) at prices ranging from $3-$7. So, I am wondering if this is just someone who has decided that once free should mean always free and is redistributing them (apparently as PDF's, with no author listed on the detail pages) or if it is a legit marketing outlet.
