Yes, it is a Scam Press edit
BiblioBazaar published my MA thesis and was listed on Amazon and Google books with them as the publisher. They had no rights to use it commercially. This stub needs to be corrected to include a paragraph explaining how they are dishonest. I own the copyright to my work and it is not in the public domain. They had no right to sell it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.64.91.142 (talk) 02:55, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
Scam edit
Nabu Press is a notorious scam-publisher that walks a fine line of illegality by taking books in the public domain and then printing poor facsimiles of them downloaded from GoogleBooks and other sites. They have already been reported by multiple people to Amazon for what they are doing, and while it is not illegal, it certainly is not as innocent as this stub makes it sound. 216.37.198.7 (talk) 19:34, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- I would say that stealing other people's work and publishing it should be illegal. 1.64.91.110 (talk) 11:57, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
POV check - July 2014 edit
BiblioBazaar run a print-on-demand service of out-of-print books. The books remain copyright free ("recopyrighted" - in what way?), and the public remain free to track down the books and scan/photocopy them as they wish. Authors are not reimbursed because the books are out-of-copyright and there is no-one to reimburse. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 11:05, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Removed paragraph edit
I removed the paragraph stating that BiblioBazaar is a scam which works by "perpetuating the copyright" on its reprints because it was unsourced, and I do not believe that it was correct. As far as I know, publishing a facsimile reprint of public domain material does not grant any new copyright to the publisher. The material remains in the public domain.
