Screwing the system?

Apparently I am included in something called the 3,785 Page Pirated Poetry Anthology, described as "Featuring the work of 3, 164 poets. Completely unpermissioned and unauthorized, pissing off the entire poetry community. Either you're in or you're not." However, angry feedback from poets suggest that many of the poems are wrongly attributed. I haven't been able to access it to look at mine. I assume the editors gathered online poems for this. I don't approve of false attribution but "stealing" an online poem, which is out there for the grabbing, doesn't bother me so much. This appears to be a free book, so nobody is trying to make money or anything. I wish I could access it and see what they say I wrote.
