there was no attempt made to identify it as fanfic or anything like that In fact, the description implied that it was licensed property. That took a great deal of nerve. Also, with no printing or shipping costs, every cent that didn't go to Amazon was pure profit.
Exactly. It's no wonder the estate wasn't happy. I was just saying to a friend the other day that offering the fanfic as an e-book on Amazon's Web site is today's equivalent of publishing fanfic as a book and selling it in a bookstore. DCP would have never allowed that.
