Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

I have absolutely no idea how the ebook got there. I've sold almost 500 of them so I guess that, sadly, someone who bought the book was less than honest.

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

I do see what you're saying. Sigh. It's just hard not to be annoyed by this - I support my children with things like the ebook. To me this is no different than if I owned a store and someone walked...

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

I appreciate everyone's sympathy and good advice. It's not the end of the world, but it is upsetting and annoying. The dark side of the internet, I guess.

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

It's astounding to me that people openly do this - which actually makes me think it's probably someone overseas, who knows they're beyond the reach of the law. i saw a bunch of other ebooks on there...

Re: My ebook is being illegally distributed - what do I do?

Thanks, Steve & everyone else. I am sure it's inevitable; for all I know it's been going on for a while and I just found out about it. I will try to encrypt future books so I can at least make it...

And how can I prevent this in the future? Is there some kind of code I could encrypt it with so it can't be reproduced?

Someone here on the WF alerted me to this. I had the link on here but it...
