<p>Hopefully this prohibitive and unfair VAT on ebooks will stop. It's killing digital book sales and ripping off readers.</p>

<p></p> Books Being Stolen Like Jewelry on Amazon!tag:crimespace.ning.com,2011-06-20:537324:Topic:2956322011-06-20T00:30:19.110ZStacyhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/StacyDeanne
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A friend of mine's book has just been stolen on Amazon. The person is using my friend's name, stole the content of the book and put up a different title. Yep, even using her name. They have also stolen another one of her books, using her name AND the same exact cover except it's blurry. It's something else. She contacted Amazon, but has little hope.

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A friend of mine's book has just been stolen on Amazon. The person is using my friend's name, stole the content of the book and put up a different title. Yep, even using her name. They have also stolen another one of her books, using her name AND the same exact cover except it's blurry. It's something else. She contacted Amazon, but has little hope. Just a few months ago another friend of mine had some shorts stolen from Amazon and the person put them back up for sale.</p>
<p><br/>This seems to be spreading fast. I've also read things from folks on forums about people's books being stolen. So far it's people stealing from self-published authors and taking 99 cent or free books then putting them up for sale as their own.</p>
<p><br/>I of course find this disgusting, as well as the reaction some folks say they've gotten from Amazon when they asked for help after their work was stolen. I can't say I am surprised this is happening. With so many people jumping to Kindle publish now, something was bound to happen. I read an article where it's happening over at Smashwords too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So for those who are self-publishing through these channels, watch your back. You never know if it will happen to you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a blog post on the subject from a few months ago:</p>

<p>This is one of those cases where the good has to suffer because some folks didn't know how to behave.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>Are you excited to perhaps re-read these classics on your Kindle/ Sony eReader/Kobo/Nook/etc.? I still have the pulps myself...</p>
