					<description><![CDATA[Susan, Terri Benson posted the following in a comment to you. My question: how does one contact Google about this? Do you have an e-mail address for that? Thanks, Andrea

Susan, this is great information. I have had to contact Google twice because an alert came up showing sites that say my book is available for free download. I think both times the sites were pfishing scams to get people to click on the site (and it would serve them right if they did!) and both times it was removed within a couple days. They have a simple “fill in the blank” form, but it does follow right along with what you said above.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve sent many, many takedown notices since my first book was published four years ago. I&#039;d say eight times out of ten my infringed content is removed within 24 hours. Wordpress was especially swift when I found a WP site dedicated to nothing but illegal downloads of books. They had the entire site gone a mere five minutes after I sent them the notice. I&#039;ve even been lucky enough to have some Russian sites take down my content as well, but those have been few and far between. Never hurts to try, though, and sometimes you get lucky. I take one day a month and chase down pirated copies of my books and sending out DMCA takedown notices. It&#039;s a pain, but part of it, I guess. Unfortunately, it&#039;s kind of like chopping off a Hydra&#039;s head. Kill one site, and two more pop up in its place. But it does feel good to know you&#039;ve managed to thwart those SOBs for a while at least. Thanks so much for the great post!]]></description>

I think piracy is something we&#039;re all hit with, no matter what we right. What i hate is that it is almost impossible to do anything about it because Torrent sites simply take the stand that they didn&#039;t upload it, someone else did. 

The only thing that gives me satisfaction is the fact that many of the illegal sites are phishing sites. So, you take your chances if you&#039;re a pirate and might get more than you bargain for, like malware and credit card info stolen. I&#039;m not going to cry over that, either, because Karma. 

Have a great day, ladies!]]></description>

This is a terrific help, thank you so much Susan! As a writer, I would never want to infringe on the rights of another, so I wanted to make sure of what the best practice was. You&#039;re the best for offering your brain to all of us--thank you!]]></description>
