for what its worth I think slimebeast is doing the right thing. these stories are good, and I don't think slimebeast should sit back while other people make money off of his work.
I have no problem listening to salems lot audio book on youtube, even though stephen king may not be getting a share of the revenue I don't feel any guilt because over the years I've bought salems lot at least three times.

But if these youtube faces are going to money from someone else's work without crediting them or giving them a share of the revenue then that person has a right to feel pissed off.
I know I would.

Also maybe this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise if it gives slimebeast the kick up the arse he needs to put out a book, I'd buy something he had written on the strength of his creepy pastas.
