It's a book store you wouldn't own the copyright that makes no sense. Plus wtf is on with the non racist part at the beginning what has that to do with anything in the rest of the text.

And in any case yeah that would illegal because you don't own the copyright neither those books. You own the book store and the shelves you could decide one day to charge them another fee if they want their book in your store and use your shelves, that would be an equivalent. And yeah any existing ones, and future ones would require the fee, of course, it is your fucking book store, maybe people won't like it and look for s different store to put their books but that's it.

A different thing is if you have a contract with the book store saying x year you will never have a fee. Or similar. Yeah that would be breach of contract and you could do something about it but this is not the case.

Their terms clearly indicate that they can be changed. If people didn't try to or couldn't get another terms/contract that specified otherwise is unfortunate but it is what it is.

It emulates the stuff they put into a TOS.

My original comment was trying to say the recource legally allowed is to be kicked out, however that isnt possable with how unity qants fees and by its nature intertwines with the copywrited work, witch is hard to impossable to un-publish.
