No -the Librivox App is not run by us, nor are any other apps or you tube sites.
We don't even accept books that are not officially published.

So,shouldn't we be stopping them?
Even though Librivox Publications are On The Public Domain,the name 'Librivox' is probably not for the use of all.

That ship has sailed.

The name "LibriVox" is not trademarked, so technically anyone can use it. It does cause confusion, and we'd love it if the app changed its name, but there's no way to stop them from using it.

That confused me too, I thought it must be an "official" app but it turns out it is not.
