Eh. I think “scumbag” is overkill for something that’s entirely legal. Given the penny ante nature of the transactions combined with a good dollop of caveat emptor, I can’t get exercised about this.

A rose by any other name. There are a lot of books that are junk to me, but I acknowledge that the authors and publishers have tapped into a market. More power to them.
