It’s a misrepresentation to include these works in a database when the authors didn’t choose to do so.
The database itself is a creative work. It’s directly using the reputation of thousands of other authors. Having your work included in another creative work without your approval is textbook infringement.

- pavlov 3y agoAre you really including the entire text of the books in your "50 Books" lists?
- hnfong 3y agoThere's a difference between "Having your work included in another creative work without your approval", and "writing books in your name and selling them on Kindle using your reputation". I'm surprised that you seem to fail to see the distinction.
