Forum:Wikia, are you selling wiki material on Amazon?

I am very, very disturbed. While on Amazon this evening, I discovered paperback book listings like this with Redwall category titles and what appears to be content.

"Wikia" is listed as the author, with "Books LLC, Wiki Series" as the publisher. I need an explanation. NOW. -- LordTBT Talk! 04:57, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

I direct you here and explain in bullets: I hope this helps... .Seshat. 05:06, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikia did not endorse this.
 * Wikia has looked into this and found nothing legally wrong with it.
 * There is nothing Wikia can do about it.
 * What Books LLC is doing is completely and perfectly legal.
 * Books LLC has been doing this for a while and knows the ins and outs of what they're doing, so they haven't done anything we can pursue them legally for.
 * Yes, it bites the big one, but there is nothing we can do about it (though a few wikis have been able to contact Books LLC through their website and get them to cancel the line of books based on their wiki).
 * Read this blog. 15:06, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * So does this mean that individual wikis can package, distribute and sell their own content? -- LordTBT Talk! 23:55, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, as long as you comply with the creative commons license (gets a bit dodgy if you use copyrighted material under fair use, you'll have to check on the legality of that depending on what you have) - you're free to distribute content in whatever medium you wish --  Random  Time  23:59, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
