Ahoy, Pirates!

It's extremely weird to Google yourself (and your book) and see some lovely connections to reviews and your own blog, but also to find links to websites on the internet that have pirated your book.

I'll be the first to admit that we all do it. I understand there's no way of stopping it, things get pirated all the time. And it doesn't really bother me that much, so long as people are actually reading my book.

But let me remind you, Pirates of the internet world, that it is still ILLEGAL. So below is my message to you in regards to the horrendous act you are performing:

Attn: Pirates and Copyright Ignorers,

I am Isabella Modra, author of Rouge and duly authorized representative of the exclusive rights holder for this book.
If your intention is to violate these exclusive rights by making the above materials available upon your website at the following URL(s) (http://pirateshit.com/torrent/8858038/Rouge_by_Isabella_Modra.epub, http://www.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=1295&t=607159&sid=258c85101ce12f2b63bf80cf99304a9c, http://torrentz.eu/c387ea2146eef2e92be88d271e75426c05fe97ea, http://h33t.com/torrent/05674700/rouge-by-isabella-modra-epub, http://torrents.am/download-torrent/8984016///Rouge-by-Isabella-Modra.epub.html, http://www.torrenthound.com/hash/c387ea2146eef2e92be88d271e75426c05fe97ea/torrent-info/Rouge-by-Isabella-Modra-epub, http://torrentz.cd/c387ea2146eef2e92be88d271e75426c05fe97ea/Rouge-by-Isabella-Modra-epub.torrent to name just a few), I am hereby authorized to remind you that this book is COPYRIGHTED material, and you are breaking numerous laws in numerous countries by file-sharing this ebook.
I state that the information contained in this message is accurate, and on behalf of the exclusive rights holder (myself) I ask that you remove this infringement from your website/forum/pirateship immediately, or otherwise pay for the copy you have so ruthlessly stolen.
If this does not persuade you to give up your rebellious antics, I then ask that you and anyone who downloads this illegal material be kind and honest enough to at least leave a generous and detailed (5 star) review on my book's Amazon or Goodreads page (links are below). 

Remember: Piracy is a crime.

Regards,
Isabella Modra,
Author of ROUGE

And just as an added stab to the gut, Piraters, you may be allowing people to read my book at no cost whatsoever (and even reading it yourself), but that just means you are helping me market my book through the internet world which - in a way - makes me want to thank you. But I won't, because what your doing it bad. And evil. And illegal. And it takes up all my Google space.


For authors who have had their works pirated, I feel your pain. This post in Stephanie's blog helped me feel a bit better at catching these rascals, so check it out if you're feeling a little cheated. Stephanie's blog
