They might not be as good a deal for the writer as indie publishing, but a lot of writers don't want to do indie publishing.
Oh, and they're paying the cost of the takedown service on behalf of their authors. Yeah, they're evil, all right.  |
Name a single "fighting pirates" success story please. Turning a "pirate" into a customer. Heck, even stopping pirate from "pirating".
What I recall is the second hand market being killed in the name of "fighting piracy" and that's it. Idiotic standards that eventually milk loyal customers.
