Oh, yeah... the thread topic...
Oh, well. I guess I'll just do a high-kick-off right here.

Truthfully I dont think the piracy is anywhere near as big as youre trying to make it. I dont think thats the point here in the least nor am I trying to defend them. Im trying to say that if you want to get paid for said work you might want to do some more of said work. All this time, maybe Ive missed a post from you but it seems you did some promotion but very little, if any, advertising. Thats your number one problem. Forget the pirates. They have actually complimented you putting you in a torrent like that since youre an unknown. Why dont you worry about changing that very important fact instead of some people that you havent any hope of taking on? All this 'lost sales' is complex mumbo jumbo, some people may buy your book, some may not, most still have no idea who you are.
Bottom line, take the pirates out of the picture. Youve lost free publicity and worst of all, your name still isnt out there. Get to the root of the problem. Youre wasting your time with this whole piracy crusade.
