"Amazon continues to unfairly remove authors' work from the profitable models of their business, without accountability or compassion. ne of Amazon's requirements to opt-in for ‘KDP Select’ (also known as Kindle Unlimited to readers) is that the work will not be published in an e-format on any other site; It must be exclusive to Amazon. Many authors follow this rule closely, but amazon refuses to acknowledge the part they play in the theft and redistribution of authors' publications online. Currently, many automated systems use Amazon as a place to copy the e-files that they use for their free websites. It’s completely absurd that the same company turns around and punishes an author by removing their book from KDP Select. Many independent authors do not have the resources, legal education, and funds to fight these websites when their work is posted for free without their consent. Many sites use automated programs to comb through Amazon, a company that has the ability to help prevent this with better system security. What do we want: -Amazon to change their current process for Authors that allegedly infringe on Amazon’s ‘KDP Select’ terms of agreement and exclusivity. -Amazon to acknowledge their part in the redistribution of work protected under copyright, adding to the potential loss of an author's net income. -Amazon to offer better protection on its text content, and repercussions for accounts and users that take part in the illegal redistribution of work. -For Authors to have more efficient access to assistance if an allegation/removal has been made. The current process and time it takes to amend these mistakes impacts authors livelihoods, and potential audience reach."
