PLACEMENT OF TITLES OF BOOKS WITHOUT AGREEMENT WITH THE AUTHOR
Dear employees of ....... net!
On your platform, I found the titles of 15 of my books. In addition, there is a "plate" ("a nameplate"):
'For copyright holders!
This work was posted by agreement with LLC "......" (20% of the original text). If the placement of the book violates someone's rights, then report it. "
I use this option and send you this letter.
I express my deepest respect to you - as well as respect to electronic libraries.
Noting that your platform performs a useful function, nevertheless, I must say that I personally have not received a single ruble from your sale of my books.
From a certain point, without receiving a single ruble (but receiving various explanations that are not convertible currency), I decided to focus on posting my content for free (considering - at the same time - it is normal for an author to receive royalties - if there is a reader demand).
I took the necessary formal steps and sent numerous letters.
My correspondence in this regard took me considerable time and distracted my attention. (Strange, does anyone need my supposedly unpopular, supposedly unprofitable, supposedly not in demand works? For what reason was it so difficult to remove them from sale and remove references to them from electronic platforms? And this - in the presence of digitalization ...).
Several years have passed since my letters, and I find fifteen (15) titles of my books on your platform.
For an incompetent visitor who does not understand the details, these books of mine may be perceived as for sale, as available for purchase on your platform (on your website).
Why do you need them if they are not popular enough?
Do they benefit you as promotional factors (factors of advertisement)?
It would be possible to go into details on these issues, but, for now, I think this is superfluous.
I will only note that you are using copyrighted content with the direct violation of the will of the author (without his consent).
You give information about 15 of my books.
This, of course, is not so much. One of the platforms provides information on more than 50 of my books (seperate works). So there are those who surpass you in quantity. Currently, the list of miniatures, written by me, and placed for reading on services for free usage, on services, selected by me personally, contains more than 2180 titles.
15 is less than 2180, but 15 it is also not so small.
In addition, those 15 books (seperate works) whose titles are mentioned on your site are not included in the list of more than 2,180 titles.
I demand from you:
immediately to remove from your platform, from your sites, from your pages any references to my books - as objects of sale or as objects of acquaintance (reading) (with using your platform, your website).
Note: I have nothing against mutually beneficial cooperation on the basis of a contract. At the moment, the corresponding contract has not been agreed.
With the hope for future mutually beneficial cooperation, and with the requirement to stop the continued use of my works without my express consent (expressed in the contract),
Vladimir Zalessky.
