Followup#2: INTECH Book Chapter Nomination

[jmvalin]

OK, it was nearly funny at first, but this is now getting annoying. Not content with spamming me twice about this "pay to publish" scheme and then following up -- twice again -- the week after, I'm now getting a second pair of followups still from Ms. Ivana Lorkovic. Looking a bit more closely at the book description, I see that the text is copied verbatim from the Wikipedia page on Sound Localization, of which the first sentence goes "Sound localization refers to a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance". Of course, there is no attribution or mention of the Wikipedia CC license. Looking again at other books, i see that description of the books on Photodiodes is also copied verbatim from wikipedia. Same for "Aluminium Alloys". On the other hand, the description of the book on self-organizing maps (SOM) was not copied from wikipedia, it was copied from some slides at a German university. All in all, it doesn't look very good and unless Ms. Lorkovic got approval first, it looks like it could be a case of copyright violation. OK, done ranting. I don't think I'll be publishing anything with intechweb.
