I have just written to Contentville's copyright department. It is true that the issuing school has rights to most dissertations, but when I completed mine I also paid extra to own the copyright myself. I never gave permission to have my dissertation sold and I have let Contentville know that they cannot sell without my express permission. I thank Slashdot for alerting me to this infringement and it will be interesting to see how these pirates respond.
