Is anyone suing Amazon / KDP for selling books w/o author's permission?
by dogpatch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZT55)
In this case, I am the author of 4 books that were being published through CreateSpace, an on-demand publisher. Somewhere about 7 years ago, i granted CreateSpace permission to sell my books through Amazon, but did not give permission to do so through Kindle (KDP).
Unknown to me, about 1 1/2 years ago, without my permission or knowledge, CreateSpace sold out to Amazon/KDP. After wrestling with Amazon's (Indian) customer service, they have deleted my Amazon/KDP account. But they continue to offer my books for sale! I have copies of my emails in which I assert my copyright ownership, and demand that they remoive the listings, to no avail (so far).
I can't find anything about a lawsuit against Amazon. They supposedly have a subdomain where copyright compaints can be made, but I can't go there because my account is closed.
Any advice will be welcome. Like: law firms to contact, etc.
