Amazon has been essentially stealing material from authors for a while now.

Amazon recently received backlash from prominent author Jane Friedman after it was discovered that the platform had allowed books written using AI to be published under her name, without her permission.

Amazon initially said Friedman did not have the copyright to her name, but the platform ultimately took down the books.

“They’ve never taken on any care or responsibility for these things. It’s pretty much anything goes until there’s a total sh*tstorm surrounding it, publicity wise,” she said. “Authors are just banging their heads against the wall trying to get a human being with critical thinking skills at Amazon to recognize there is a problem here.”

DO NOT GIVE GOOGLE OR AMAZON ANY OF YOUR CREATIVE WORK. THEY WILL STEAL IT.
