Biggest Thieves? Russians, Americans and...DUTCH

On the otherwise fairly useless "Piracy Trace" website, there's a page on the worst countries for copyright theft.

How interesting that the ugly fat cheapksate DUTCH, a bunch o cheese-faced wooden-shoe-wearing sociopaths are the fetid fatty load slabbed between the Russians and the Americans.

Now that Bozo Bezos and his miserable KINDLE have made PDF files the choice of way too many thieving readers (just as mp3 is the choice of thieving "music lovers,") what's an author to do?

SUFFER.

That's all. SUFFER.

The "Writers Guild" and other such organizations are full of shit. They do nothing, the same way the RIAA and ASCAP and the others in the music biz do nothing. Record labels do nothing and book publishers do nothing. They're fat cats, all right, making enough to not bother to search around and kick some ass on the usual suspects.

While it's technically "against the rules" to sell PDF files on eBay, it's being done by the hundreds of thousands. Just type in PDF and see what you get. Where's the Writers Guild or Random House to routinely scan eBay and protect authors?

It's up to the author to check around and see the abuse.

Piracy Trace's gambit is that for a monthly subscription fee, and a fee per stoppage, they'll make the rounds of the usual creeps and file DMCA's for authors. BUT...what happens if they come across Russian websites and Kickass websites and other nasties?

NOTHING. Oh well. Too bad.

So what's the point of Piracy Trace? No point at all, really. You have to be pretty stupid to NOT know how to Google your name and book title, and see the more obvious places it's being stolen. If you're an author and you don't know how to file a DMCA you are one hell of a schmuck.

PS, the guys who run Piracy Trace look like a pair of retards. One of them is a glassy-eyed goofball who just stares into space. Neither of 'em has an answer when it comes to fighting an AVAX.RU or a KICKASS site. They also don't seem to be on top of all the forums where books are tossed around. How good is ANYBODY'S software in tracking down what's hidden in password-protected forums?

All I can see is that if you're an author and are scared to death, it MIGHT be worth hiring them since they'll give THEIR address and phone number and state they are acting on your behalf. They are mere bots. So hopefully no psychotic Mephisto is going to try and fuck with your home address, phone number or ISP for "ruining the fun."

At least they've exposed a fact about Holland: it is one of the most obnoxious countries on the planet. While North Korea, Italy, Russia, China and others get attention because they are openly Communistic or Fascistic, nobody thinks of the pathetic low-life lowland country of Holland as anything but mildly addled. Holland seems to merely be the home for prostitute-seeking fatso jerks who do drugs and watch windmills go around. But they are also childish nasty and petty THIEVES who spend most of their useless lives on the Internet downloading and uploading shit from their 2 TB drives and snickering like little girls.

It will be a happy day when global warming raises the sea levels and Holland is covered over and washed away.
