On Sunday, and following a message on the Siren Bookstrand Author Group site, I had cause to send a DMCA takedown notice to ebookr.com. Never sent one before. I must admit I haven't looked at any piracy sites before for any of my books, mainly because I couldn't be bothered. But for some reason on this occasion I did. Together Forever was listed as a free download, and due to disappointing sales, this made me angry. Hence the reason for my very first DMCA takedown notice (probably won't be the last either!). And today, I received confirmation that my complaint had been processed and Together Forever has been deleted from their site. A tiny victory in a very large piracy world.
We authors work very hard and don't want to see piracy sites taking our money. So folks, if you want to read our books, and they're not offered as a free download from the authors themselves, then buy them from the publisher. For me that's Siren Bookstrand, or if you don't want to purchase in dollars, then get them through amazon.co.uk.
