I found this quote enlightening:

> From: Joaquín Baldwin, @joabaldwin > Of note: if a customer orders a copy from Amazon, and a damaged, returned book > is shipped to them instead, no new KDP printing orders kick in. This means I > don’t get paid at all, because they only pay me when a book is printed. They > stole my money while scamming a customer.

So the author wants to be paid royalties on books he says are "damaged" that are brand new but that he says can not be sold to customers?

We recently discussed abuses of copyright law. This qualifies as an abuse of copyright law IMHO.
