A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They made a musical out of it so I'm sure it sold just fine. The pointless disparaging based on no facts isn't very useful to this topic.
I was expecting lawsuits to fly over software source code laundering, but yeah, this makes sense too.
Seems very improbable that they scraped a pirate website with forced registration and tight daily download limits (10 books a day max?) to get content that's often mislabeled and not presented in an homogeneous way.
Probably it's just using the excerpt from Amazon (which instead with paid API access is much more easy to access) as a prompt and build on it
