Now you have arrived, there a...Susan,<BR/><BR/>My sympathies. <BR/><BR/>Now you have arrived, there are several support groups you could join for extra eyes on the street.<BR/><BR/>copyrightalliance.org.<BR/>I think there is a membership fee for this org, and the idea is for all artists in all media to work together to protect copyright.<BR/><BR/>AuthorsAgainstE-BookTheft@yahoogroups.com<BR/><BR/>A free-to-join yahoogroup started by some of the most brilliant and proactive authors around.<BR/><BR/>They have a sample take-down letter.<BR/><BR/>I noticed some rather alarming talk about Kindle today on a paranormal yahoo group.

It really sucks.I...Sorry that happened to you, Sue. It really sucks.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Joe Average realizes that published authors aren't sitting around eating bon bons, ordering mai tais and watching the pool boy clean the filters. They don't understand how difficult it is to write a book. And they don't understand the small portion of the profits that authors get from each sale of an ebook. That or they're too selfish to care.<BR/><BR/>Megan Hart made a great public service announcement on her site about this. Very powerful.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with getting your books taken down.Ava Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404716744982870650noreply@blogger.com
