I’m not sure if you are satirical here. But just to be clear that part of the leaked agreament was crystal clear. They would have had the right to throw your book in a photocopier and start selling the copies. They would have even had the right to sell the same right to a third party.
Were they intending to do that literally? Probably not. Would they have picked this and that from the most succesfull publications? Why not? They have the right for it. You signed it away for them.
