![]() ![]() ![]() So thank you to all the fans who helped with this.īut the battle isn’t over. Some of the places my fans saw it they complained and sent emails about it to the site and it was taken down before I even got there. It popped up on several sites and thankfully I have some really good and loyal fans who emailed me and told me of some places. Then it started to pop up on a few pirating sites (I will list the common sites below). I first got wind of the PDF reviewers copy of Before being passed around without my consent. I have actually been having problems with pirating since Before came out. Her awesome and informative blog post about pirating can be found here: Stephanie Lawton (Author of WANT) who has also been a victim of pirating. Note: A LOT of my information on Pirating Prevention is going to come from So I am going to share my story a bit and also share some pointers and information that I have been researching on what you can do as an author (or even a blogger) to keep your written words from being stolen. ![]() ![]() You know what I mean?

I think at first I didn’t want to talk or post about it because it’s an ugly topic. I have been effected very much by book pirating. Many of you might think because I have been so quiet of this topic that I have not been effected by book pirating. So basically someone else is stealing an author’s work and making money off it. They say things like “pay this 5$ joining fee for unlimited downloads”. What’s worse is that a lot of these sites that Ebooks are being uploaded to are sites you have to pay to be a member of. Remember years ago when the big uproar was happening over music downloads and the artists were upset because their sales were being hurt? It’s pretty much the same thing. If you don’t let me give you a quick rundown:īook pirating is when someone uploads a copy of an Ebook (in any or various formats) and then uploads in on the internet for people to download for free. I am sure most of you know about book pirating. Today I am going to talk a bit about a subject I have mostly stayed pretty quiet about. ![]()
