Removing illegal downloads?

5 replies
I've noticed there are a few sites that will take your WSO or eBook or report and will upload it to their site to distribute for free.. How can I remove these listings?

    Contact each Webmaster. If that doesn't work, send a DMCA take-down request to both the Webmaster and their host.

    You can't really do much about this! The only to to protect your product is to manually report each and every mirror created! Not every mirror will be taken down immediately, but eventually will be.

    Here is my suggestion. Either ignore it and do your best to secure your stuff next time or...

    This might be totally crazy to most but I say embrace the sharing. Get involved with the site/sites sharing and see if you can help them do better with your product and turn them into paying customers. I have seen it work! If you want more specifics on how this might be able to be done PM me or reply back to me here.

    Pirates are vigilant. They've won battles with world governments, hollywood, microsoft, apple, adobe, you name it.

    Unless you have infinite quantities of time, my suggestion would be to monetize the hell out of your products so even if they're stolen, you minimize your losses.

    (Yes, you can profit from people who steal your content).

    PS: I've eavesdropped on people pirating my content when they don't block the referring URL. It's neat to see some of them compliment my work haha.

    (I used to stress heavily over this, but now I roll with the punches).

    Another suggestion - share everything as a protected PDF and watermark them with your URL on every page! Kind of goes hand in hand with what Sarevok is saying - monetize, monetize, monetize. Fight on all fronts!
