How The Kindle Now Lets You Steal This Blog
Quote:
Amazon’s new blog publishing program has a major flaw: it lets anyone steal other people’s blogs and charge readers for them... Apparently, it is not just blogs that can be claimed. Uploading books is pretty easy too. Journalist Paul Carr emails us to say that he was able to upload his book, Bringing Nothing To The Party: Confessions Of A New Media Whore, to the Kindle Store ” in less than 24 hrs without even once being asked to prove that a) I was the author b) I had the electronic rights for the US.” Talk about opening the door to book piracy.
