Isn't that what this post is about? They are planning to print a physical book made up of arbitrary text chosen by the user and then ship that book to the user.
- hinkley 6y agoSomehow I missed the lede. You are correct, he is doing exactly that. So my conclusion is bunk, although the decision tree I loosely mapped out might still be useful for others so I'll leave it as is.
- interestica 6y agoDo photo printing services (or existing self-publishing services) assess content for copyright infringements? Or do they pass it off with "you assert that you have the rights to print this content"? I suspect something along those lines could work for this too. If the service can be 'blind' to what is being collected (eg, all happens on the user's device and the central printer just takes the collected file). Automated version of a local printshop that just prints whatever you give them.
- ghaff 6y agoAnecdotal but I published a book through what was at least then Createspace at Amazon. Many of the chapters were adapted from previous blog posts of mine and the book was flagged. I sent Amazon some links and they quickly cleared it.
