Someone took over this book from QI, re-named it, and is now juicing it for money?

"Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning" Originally called https://www.novelupdates.com/series/cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness/

I was looking for this in my lists and was hella confused since I couldn't find it anymore. Had to look into my editing logs since I distinctly remembered adding some info for the book. Turns out someone had renamed it, scrubbed off all the shit I'd added and is now pumping some new translation for it- all the while asking for money for "premium chapters"?

Is this shit really allowed? At the very least it seems to be in incredibly bad faith. I mean, the IP is owned by QI, which already HAS a translation out for it. And while they aren't exactly the nice guys, it's all still within law - right? If nothing else, this mega fucking inconvenienced me as a NU user. What a weird fucking thing to do.
