AAUGH Blog reader Caren noted that the bootleg Peanuts ebooks I linked to the other day had already been deleted, so victory, right?<\/p>\n

Of course not.<\/p>\n

Two days after my post, the same fake editions had already been re-uploaded<\/a>\"\". The timeless work of Dolores J Douglas endures, as does that of Celia D Lennon<\/a>\"\". And if those links happen to go to a link-not-found page when you click through, that just means they’ve been taken down again, but doesn’t mean that they haven’t already popped up under another ASIN (that’s Amazon’s stocking number.)<\/p>\n

And in the past week, we’ve also seen…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A series of coloring books by Marlene Duncan<\/a>, featuring a wide variety of cartoon characters owned by various licensors, such as this one<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Snoopy coloring books<\/a>\"\" from different<\/a>\"\" listed authors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(While many of them seem to just grab actual black-and-white Peanuts images from various places, likely scanned from legit coloring books, this latter one looks to be based on bad tracings. Does that look licensor-approved to you?)<\/p>\n

But that’s not all! We also have a paperback of the screenplay to The Peanuts Movie<\/em><\/a>\"\" by Alissa Greta Morton. Who is Alissa Greta Morton, you ask? Well, according to her Amazon credits, she also wrote the script for Othello<\/a>\"\"<\/em>. Yes, you may have thought it was William Shakespeare, but that’s just because of the educational system’s preference for dead white males, it\u00a0 was really Alissa Greta Morton!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I reckon AAUGH Blog readers know to steer away from this stuff, and to not reward their efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
