Actually, my books have been posted on scribd without my permission. On a separate occasion they were also posted on a site dedicated to the piracy of eBooks. In both cases they were taken down, but not before they were downloaded many times.
They were taken down because they were breaking the law by hosting them. It's that simple. They were liable for the units downloaded and knew they were in the wrong, which can get expensive, fast, as it should.
