The Glamor!

[rolanni]

So what I’m doing this afternoon instead of writing is putting together a DMCA take-down notice for seventeen novels and stories written by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller which have been scanned and made available for electronic download in violation of my copyright.

For each of those seventeen violations I have to tell the site owner:

1.  The exact title of the work infringed upon

2.  The exact URL of the infringing work

3.  The exact URL of a legitimate electronic copy of the work

Gosh, this is fun!

In a word, yes. Well, I don't know about those particular nitwits, but I have seen that opinion expressed by a number of people. "It's not sold as an MP3 so I am free to rip it and distribute it as I wish." The same before that with paper books, if one is out of print then some people felt that it 'should' be copied and sold themselves. For that matter it's not a million miles away from Google's attitude to books, and their statements can be construed as encouraging it ("no, we aren't a monopoly, because anyone can scan books like we do").
