I work for Ellusionist. When customers report piracy, I either report it to have it taken down myself, or I verify it and pass it on to the legal team, if it's not something I can report myself.

Why would one need to see the scan of a book to know it had been pirated? Wouldn't the existence of the scan be enough?
No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.

Because if it's not actually what it claims to be there's no grounds for action.

No cost for print, no miminiums etc. If I ever got to the point of either wanting to publish any ideas, I would RUN away from PDF and head towards POD, better control, better set up. |

And those charges are very high, because POD is much more expensive than a standard print run when calculated on a per copy basis. On top you have shipping costs, deal with lost packages, returns, errors in the print, delays until it is printed and shipped. POD has its place, but it is hardly a perfect solution.

I must chime in here. I have had several of my publications released legally through Lybrary.com. All of these are totally legal. Chris is scrupulously honest about making sure the right people get the royalties.
I am aware of sites that sell bootleg copies of some of my material. I don't need to have actual copies in hand to know that this is being done. My friends tell me about them. I know who I can trust.

"It Must Be Mindreading" is page for page the best mentalist book, hands down.

IS THIS SELLER LEGIT?
Whilst looking for a copy of "Thirteen" by Tony Shiels I stumbled upon a seller on ETSY called 'MagicClassicsCoLtd'. He has it in ebook format for £7.31. He also has other magic materials at cheap prices. Has anybody had dealings with this seller, is he legit?

Mr. Woolery suggested:

Ebooks are a mixed blessing and curse. They allow a solo operator to publish his ideas (or her ideas) and sell directly. Paul Voodini comes to mind. Sometimes these ideas are really specialized and the number of people who would use them is so limited that you can totally see why a publisher would not want to print them up and a solo operator may not have the up-front cash to print a run of a real book. Ebooks are certainly not the only avenue for the solo operator. I've sold printed copies of my books for twenty years now, and have never released them in digital format. And aside from announcing them in places like the Café, I don't even advertise. But they all continue to sell well. And I produce them myself. It's just not that difficult to create 5.5x8.5-inch softcover, saddle-stitched books. You needn't even use a copy shop: it can easily be done on a home printer, on an as-needed basis. So the only costs involved are paper and toner, plus envelopes and postage for mailing. Of course, when it's time (i.e., you've developed a reputation and a following) to release your legacy, 400-page hardcover, you'll likely want to seek out a quality book publisher. But until then, if your material is sufficiently strong, there's a ready market for modest (but real) books.
