Protect Your Work from Book Pirates!

Yikes-a-roo … How would like to being doing a random Google or Bing search with your name and book title … and WHOOPS … a “free download” pops up? A download you never authorized or know nothing about. Aargh!

You need help … your book has been pirated. Here are two sources to know about. First of all, you want to listen to the podcast dated 2-25-2016—it’s all about Book Piracy. Here are the two keep sources you want to engage: Piracy Trace and IP Watchdog. And do this now—go to BOTH Google and Bing. Put your NAME, BOOK TITLE and the words FREE DOWNLOAD. Is your book safe?

Book piracy costs publishing over $200 million a year–don’t let you or  your book become a victim. Get help. I’ve done a recent podcast on it. Listen HERE

 

Piracy Trace is an automated platform that searches the entire web looking for copies of your work. With an always-on scanning approach, you can rest assured if it’s been copied we’ll find it. There is a free 30 day trial… after that, to track one book, it’s $1 per month; up to 5 titles, $4. Suggest you listen in pronto to the podcast done on AuthorU-Your Guide to Book Publishing dated February 25, 2016. Your book may be on the plank with pirates!
