I can think of no reason Amazon would be against selling crowdsourced books (besides quality control).
You can think of no reason besides that one reason you gave? ;)
According to the email he received, Amazon doesn't allow you you publish material you do not own the copyright to. So this effectively kills crowdsourced material unless you have a copyright assignment clause.
- fastball 14y agoRight, but you made it sound like a problem. It seemed like you were disagreeing with ig1, rather than rephrasing his exact thoughts.
- naner 14y agoI did technically disagree. Crowdsourced and copyleft aren't the same thing. I gave the example of Dive into Python as a copyleft publication that is not crowdsourced and where the copyright is held by one person (or publishing company).
