Hi friends , I recently launched a WSO hoping that It would be the best WSO of the year but today someone (a buyer) has uploaded that zip file to a file host.
What should i do ?
What can i do ?

I don't want to loose it because i am hoping to earn much from it , this was everything i knew in that area.

Please reply asap.
Thanks in advance

You probably just got more people searching for it. Honestly though, the people pirating it aren't going to pay anyway. By now, the file already has 20 mirrors and there is nothing you can legitimately do in my opinion. Just like SE Nuke, tons of people pay for it here, but there are tons that crack it.

At least you know you had a WSO that someone was interested in enough to not only buy, but upload it and share.

Sorry for the bad luck, many of us have gone through it.

  That sucks, sorry to hear that.
  
  I had/have that same fear about my ebook. I decided shortly after releasing it to not have a download link available, but to instead have a unique tracking ID, along with the buyer's name and email address stamped a couple of times in the eBook prior to sending. Not that it would necessarily stop all unauthorized sharing, but it should help.
  
  On the positive side, you created something of value that people wanted enough to get it, albeit unethically. As iAmNameLess stated, the people who download it wouldn't buy it anyway. Hopefully you have links in your WSO to other products and/or services that you offer. You can then look at the WSO copies that were leaked as a "loss-leader" to promote more future sales!

File sharing services will take down illegally shared content once notified, so send an email and explain your situation.

Send them a DMCA. Also take a little pleasure in the fact that they have probably hidden tracking cookies and spyware throughout the product before sharing it.

What I did was to hire some really evil people to add the nastiest things they could to a version of my products, and told them I hoped they would be honest enough not to upload it to the file sharing sites.
