The steps to recovery are different, but the math is quite similar. The math is similar if you want money and have to sue. But B4I just wants them taken down. An ISP has a far different incentive to agree to a take down request than a company selling an infringing product has to stop making selling the product. |

I understand that matisse, but unless there is some exposure there wouldn't be any incentive to stop infringing. I don't mean to imply that B4I is out for money. What else would he do? Hold his breath & hope they stop infringing just because he wants them to? Someone at some point decided to steal his work, why wouldn't they persist if he has no disincentive?

Per Amazon's user agreement. I did not select DRM protection. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is intended to inhibit unauthorized distribution of the Kindle file of your book. Some authors want to encourage readers to share their work, and choose not to have DRM applied to their book. If you choose DRM, customers will still be able to lend the book to another user for a short period, and can also purchase the book as a gift for another user from the Kindle store. Important: Once you publish your book, you cannot change its DRM setting. DRM is not a perquisite for a valid copyright. |

matisse, I assume you're thinking of the ISP, who probably would take it down. What I am referring to is the person who decided to steal B4I's intellectual property. When one ISP takes it down, he'll simply move to another site. You can chase this continuously to no avail, unless you dissuade the person who stole his material in the first place. Threatening the ISP is unlikely to accomplish much, its the thief not the ISP that's the problem.
