Jon and I have been chatting, and we are going to use a Compare; the new MOBI, from Amazon, against the original ePUB/MOBI that was put up by the dreaded Pirates at SW. Now, if memory serves, everybody here at MR agreed that those SW copies were
obviously bootlegged, and despite numerous complaints to SW, nothing was ever done. Is that everyone else's recollection? If I'm misremembering, feel free to correct me.
Back to it: We'll do a compare, like we would at my shop, basically, and if they show up as the same, that's something. Now, arguably, Eos or whomever, some legit company could have, I suppose, used the pirated texts, but that seems damn dumb.
AT that time, once we have any reasonable evidence that it's a
not-legit copy (possibly), I'll report it to TPTB.
Presumably, those of you who are contemplating a purchase don't want to reward the bad guys, and thus, won't buy the books. If you do, that's your choice, not mine. I'm not the hall monitor.
Right?
Hope that's remotely helpful.
