Takealot *****ing and Selling Intellectual Capital *******ly
Takealot are *****ing intellectual capital. *******ly obtaining, marketing and selling 6 of the books i have published on their platform without my permission. I have never sold any of my books on the takealot platform, never spoke or communicated with anyone from there and I discovered pretty much by chance last week Thursdsy that they're marketing my books and indicate delivery is within 14 to 16 days. I write to them Friday 6th October and have had no response dince. Where did they get my books from? Who gave them permission yo reproduce my books? Who gave them permission to market and sell my books on their platform without the author's knowledge. What have they done with money raised from the sale of any of my books since they're not the author or publisher? How would they benefit from the work of an individual author trying to make a living from his intellectual capital? Apparently, my wife's one book has also been listed on the takealot platform *******ly. This is plain theft and daylight ******* by a giant company from a small individual author. It must be condemned with the contempt it deserves and stopped forthwith.
