Okay, so, randomly I was browsing amazon.com one day and what did I find?

This.

Some company has decided to make a cheap amount of money by selling and redistributing content on Wikia Wikis, including CBW.

There's more, though. Here's a "book" on Chicken Bond's Pages, and there's way more content being sold on here that shouldn't be. Hundreds of users across wikia have had their works published by this company, Books, LLC, not just us, either. They even have the nerve to take TSC, ITD, TEG, and TDL and publish them, without my consent. I'm quite annoyed about this.

I understand that this is allowed to be redistributed by the liscense Wikia uses, but don't these people understand that this is a BIONICLE fanfiction wiki? That we use content from LEGO? That they're probably violating copyright laws by publishing without LEGO's consent?

I put hours of work into writing articles and stories on here. But this is ridiculous, like making a copy of the Firefox browser on a disk and selling it for $20. I found out about this through amazon.com, but Barnes and Noble is also selling copies of these books. This is an insult to Wikia's freedom, in my opinion.

What can we do about this, you ask? Well, not much yet. Obviously, all of us have a lot at stake here. But, aside from taking this directly to Community Central (Where I found out about this) I don't know what else we can do.

Ideas? Questions? Comments? Should we contact the staff? Please comment, then. Because we have a lot at stake here, possibly the future of our wiki.
