My web site clearly states that my books, while being offered for free download, remain under copyright protection. I see the following on your site's listing of my books: "(C) Status" which means...well, I don't know what it means. Are you alerting people to this being copyrighted material, or saying that the status is unknown?
I am encouraging people to pass these books around. And when manybooks.net asked permission to post them, I said yes. But I have a problem with their being posted with the implication that they are in the public domain. They most assuredly are not.
Am I misunderstanding?
