Bet I'm posting this in the wrong thread but anyways, what I'd like to know is where should I complain about ebook theft?
I recently came across a site where users upload all the latest ebooks on a forum to be freely downloaded by anyone who joins. It's truly sickening. All the hard work that goes into some of those novels, the writers and publishers not making a cent. It's outright theft. The site in question has been running for years, the posts go back over 1,400 pages. Literally millions of ebooks new and old downloadable on filesonic and mediafire. The upload site won't take down the copyrighted material, the site running the theft won't take down the forum, and the criminals posting the stuff in the first place are either completely immoral or retarded. Probably both.
I've complained on the site (was banned), to the owners of the site (ignored) and to the upload sites (got a ridiculous and flippant reply).
Is there some kind of regulatory body for this sort of crime?
