Ultimate deals: Books from the MR library sold elsewhere

[eschwartz]

Use a Creative Commons copyright, which would allow copying and sharing but forbid commercial redistribution without the rights-holder's consent. Obviously you should make clear it is your repackaging of the text that you are laying claim to, not the text itself. The NonCommercial form of the license will prevent people from selling their derivative work based on your effort as well as prevent them from selling yours directly. But all of them will require attribution which is the main thing.

Perhaps this (CC licensing of cleaned-up works) should be adopted as an official MR recommendation for library uploads? Without this we are practically asking for this sort of stuff to happen...

Mr Castrovilli

I suggest that you give any monies you made on these books to the people whose formatted books you've taken from the Mobileread libary

That is the immediate solution.

Over At Own Literary Works, You Can Sell Works in the Public Domain First of all do not sell because they are in the Public Domain, and they earn only 20% of the price.

I'm sorry I don't understand this - do you mean that you want to contribute to the costs of running the Mobileread servers?

Please don't avoid answering the question about you paying the individuals who took great care and time to properly format the books that you are now selling.

[castrov]

The books I had made ​​a few weeks ago and I deleted them, then to 20% Gain, What Do you Have What pocketed? A Million Dollars?
The Works The I Without Me Taking Text Here and Elsewhere.

@castrov I also suggest that you include in the front of every ebook that you have copied from the Mobileread library the name of the person who formatted the ebook.

Including that person's name is not only honourable, it is the right thing to do.

[castrov]

First of Who I'm sorry to Pynch If I copied the text, I am Willing to pay him, But The Sum What I Earned is Small.

I Copy The Text by Complete Works And Werke and I Make My Own Formatting

[doubleshuffle]

Poor Castrovilli, I feel for you, only getting 20% of the money you rip off from others. It's a cruel world.

I don't want any money. If I wanted that I'd try to sell my books myself. It's just disgusting that someone rips off unwitting readers and sells to them what they could get for free. (Of course it's also their own responsibility - they should search more thoroughly...)

Thanks, eschwartz, for the legal info!

Not true. All the books mentioned in this thread you ripped off complete with formatting. (Else they wouldn't have been so easy to identify...) You just replaced the covers.

[castrov]

No, the eBooks was formatted differently

Now you are officially a liar. In my Heine I used a tilde ~ as decoration everywhere. It's exactly in the same places in "your" ebook. You also kept all the little inline TOCs I put before every chapter. You are seriously beginning to disgust me.

[castrov]

I am a person I'd be if I used Hiding Not My Real Name and If you would not be here to answer them, I'm sorry but if I Asked To Put The Copyright © This would not have happened.

[doubleshuffle]

Yes, ok. I'll put a CC license on my uploads and then come after you if I ever catch you selling my stuff again. Bye.
