It's like gang rape. It's like running wild in a department store during a blackout.
It's...BOOTLEGGING ON EBAY.
There are over a dozen different weasels chewing on this particular book...one of them has made $4,000. Ha ha. You know, some authors NEVER make that much in either the royalty or the advance? Ha ha ha. An illiterate did it in about 30 days:
Woo hoo! Why pay for a download at Amazon? Bozo Bezos doesn't need the money. As for the publishers, they are all fat cats, right? If they cared, they'd send in a DMCA and knock this crap off. Nahhhhh. BARGAINS! BARGAINS!
People want to read about how to END ALZHEIMERS. As for crapathy, that's chronic. Does the author know he's lost over $4,000 in royalties? Does the publisher care? Is eBay asking these parasites for their licensing agreements? Hell, eBay cares so LITTLE that even if a bootlegger flat out says "This is a bootleg, I'll send you a link in less than 12 hours via a Google cloud," they won't stop it. Not right away. Maybe in four or five days. Maybe if you "report item" for several weeks in a row. See, book duping is a VERY LOW PRIORITY on EBAY.
Climate change. Book theft. What, ANYONE worry? Woo Hoo! BARGAIN EBOOKS! WHEEEEEEEE!
