User blog comment:Devilmanozzy/Books, LLC selling books of wikia wikis content?!/@comment-26686429-20111104002427

Here's my view on the issue, just to restate it clearly. The problem is not that they're distributing the content, that's fine - and in the spirit of the licence (get the information out there) - the fact is they're doing it in a way which is blatently trying to take advantage of free content to make a quick dollar. I don't want content I've written to be part of someone's scam. It's like if someone were to charge £30 for firefox on a CD - if I was a firefox dev, I couldn't stop it, but it wouldn't be cool. The fact is, they're making a "book" that's just a copy/paste from a website, and that hurts wikis, it hurts editors, who feel taken advantage of, and it hurts the people who buy the "book", because they paid money for something they could've got for free.
