Katawa Shoujo is being sold on amazon? In book form? Is this a legitimate thing?

It says it's a collection of public articles like the one on Wikipedia. Technically legal, but I don't know if they've included anything from the website, which would be illegal to print.

I sincerely hope nobody actually pays $54 for that.
Re: Katawa Shoujo paperback
Paying $54 for an assortment of information that could be easily found on the Internet free of charge is a pretty big rip-off...

Not to mention a violation of copyright...
While it may be legal to distribute texts from wikipedia, there's nothing in the license about being allowed to make money from it.

Wow, nice review. First time I can remember seeing the word "usury" used in an Amazon review.Mirage_GSM wrote:Not to mention a violation of copyright...

Not that I read a huge number of reviews on sales websites.

The trio of Lambert M. Surhone, Mariam T. Tennoe and Susan F. Henssonow have "written" an astounding 242,000 "books" on Amazon (including over 150 just last Tuesday), all going for $39-$173 each. Some favorite tags of these authors by customers are fraud, swindle, and waste of money.
