Check out this book's shelves after today's Plagiarism drama. There a few there that should be removed but I have seen much worse. |

Their site, their terms. But, if you change TOS without warning (BTW, not warning yet if you're not in the feedback group) and remove previous content according the new rules without warning, not fair.
