An open letter to Facebook

Knock. Knock. Knock. Facebook.Knock. Knock. Knock. Facebook.Knock. Knock. Knock. Facebook.
Do I have your attention because so far you don't seem to be listening? The Tuebl site is a pirate site. The male who runs it has even admitted that. Pirates are bad. A pirate site is bad. Am I typing too fast for you?
You refuse to shut it down. That implies you like pirating sites. That implies you're bad. 
What has A got to do with B? A book pirating site takes books – illegally – and places them on their site and offers them to the reading public for free. That takes royalty money out of writer's paycheques.  
So what's that got to do with you? 
If your advertisers started to get hundreds and hundreds of letters and emails complaining about your being in bed with an illegal pirate they might get a little skittish with all that lovely advertising revenue they are pouring into your coffers. See where I'm going with this? Okay, in case you don't – which means LESS money in your pocket. Ouch!
Now your latest  comment is that unless you have a copyrighted book on his site then a complaint isn't valid. Well that's about as intelligent as all the witnesses at the theatre shooting in Colorado saying they didn't see anything because they weren't killed.
The funny thing is – all the shouting here is pretty much by us little authors. And we don't mind that. Because we've contacted the big authors and their publishing companies and several have contacted us saying  they're talking to their lawyers because they don't like their royalty cheques being sucked dry by a leech.
I've heard you can limit who sees this. Go for it. There are of more of me out there and there is twitter and our blogs and our yahoo groups and google+ and the press. We will get this message out.
