As usual, the creative people get fucked over, while the drones sit at home drinking beer, gorging on junk food and over-populating the world. This bitch in Georgia went to a forum, pulled out a much "shared" file of an author's COMPLETE WORKS, and decided to make chump change with it on EBAY.
So it's up to the author to take time away from writing, jump through hoops, and hope the Georgia bitch isn't a total psycho-stalker. Heh heh heh. "You ruined my fun, I will KILL YOU. Heh heh heh."
Her publisher? Oh, the publishers make plenty, and most wouldn't even waste a FREE INTERN on filing DMCA's, which take a minute.
If a low-rent slob in Georgia can do it, you BET that all the crawling, stinking dung beetles in Asia and in Euro-Trashland are doing it. It's just so easy for them. They have to sell this shit "via e-mail. We send. Got you e-mail. You gettee bookees." By some miracle, Ebay actually has sense enough to put that on their "you can't do that" list. Only they don't patrol their site so it's up to others to know there's a "report this auction" link, and know WHERE in the mess of drop-down menus, to send the complaint.
I could write a book about EBAY abuse, but it would just be stolen everywhere and fuckheads in the Czech Republic, Russia and the South would make more money on it than me.
