Default Plagarism On Amazon - Is Your Book There?

I was just checking on one of my books that I have put on Amazon Kindle. Lo and behold, not only was my book there, but it was also there under a different title with someone by the name of S. Mills listed as the editor.

When I did a search for, S. Mills, it became clear that this person is purchasing download books, renaming them, and putting them up on Kindle. There are more than 600 results for that name. Although, all of them aren't this person, way too many are, which suggests that he/she is posting quite a bit of illegal content.

Unlike other places on the net where we just have to put up with plagiarism, we don't have to do it on Amazon. It's strictly against their terms of service. I've written a letter of complaint to Amazon for this issue.

If you have an ebook for sale, I suggest you see if you can find it plagiarized there.

Just so you know: my book called "Simple Credit Repair," which is listed in Kindle, is sold via one of my sites SecretsOfTheCreditIndustry.com. S. Mills named the book "Secrets Of The Credit Industry," and left everything else virtually the same.

Default Re: Plagarism On Amazon - Is Your Book There?

I took a quick look went down 4 pages of their books on the kindle, and every one has been sold in the past as PLR. They have taken them as is, even using the graphics they came with and this is what they put on the kindle.

I don't know about your book, whether you wrote it from a PLR or offered PLR to it. If not then you need to do something about it.

But they have downloaded a whole heap of PLR material and that is what I saw on their kindle.
