republishers
They reissue books
Republishers are those who publish something again or anew.
The term often applies to websites or outlets that repost content from other sources: Content republishers scraped articles from major news sites.
In legal and copyright contexts, republishers may bear liability for defamatory or infringing material they redistribute, even if they didn't create it.
