CNNMoney reports on Amazon’s plan to monetize Fan Fiction via their new “Kindle Worlds” platform. It will be interesting to see if this works, or if it will become a legal nightmare as non-affiliated “writers” use copyrighted characters and story lines for their own ends.
The idea “sounds” good, but it also has the familiar ring of Google’s constant/ongoing/infinite battles with copyright holders over their efforts to sell scanned Google Books. I cannot see this going smoothly.
