Amazon Ebook Copyright Complaints & How To Fight Stolen Ebooks

[gordo12]

Unedited stories are unlikely to make it through the approval process and certainly won't survive the readers. You'll get feedback from the readers and not the kind you want. It's got to be a very good story for them to overlook poor editing.

Nor should the site be put to the effort to publish a story only to have it taken down a short time later because you want to publish it. There is no correlation between feedback here and Amazon that I've ever seen but I only have a few books out.
Publish it on Amazon.

Just FYI...

The author Abigail Miller has published 17 short erotic story compilations last year, and while I can't say for certain that she's plagairised all of them she has certainly plagairised four that I know of.

From Seduction Unleashed - Steamy Tales of Passion and Desire, story 1:
You look amazing, but something is missing. Ah, yes, the lip gloss. How could you forget! You know I'd be disappointed if you had forgotten it. You pull it from your makeup bag, lean closer for a better look in the mirror and apply a subtle amount. Just enough to give your lips a hint shine. You smile knowing I would definitely approve. As you look at yourself in the mirror, you notice movement in the reflection. You shift your gaze. Your heart races and you whirl around. You are surprised to see me. You have no idea how long I've been there, nor do you care. All that matters is I'm there!

Second paragraph of munkin224's A Cam Model's Fantasy:

From Untamed Desires - Sensual Stories of Wild Passion, story 1:
The images are still so clear, and she sees herself waiting at the window for him to arrive, impatiently, nervously. She wonders if the skirt is right. "Will he like it? Does it make me look fat? Why did I pick RED?" She smiles secretly to herself as she waits, anticipating that first electrifying touch of his hand on her warm, bare skin beneath the skirt. Remembrance of past touches brings a great sigh of longing and a familiar wetness. Her fingers dip and sample the creamy muskiness, bringing her fingertips to her lips, savoring the taste and feel, appreciating her womaness. The sigh retreats and returns as a great flood of passion, catching in her throat, as she sees him striding across the grass to meet her.

I don't have the time to go through their entire collection to see just how many authors they've stolen from - and to this point, they haven't stolen from me yet - but to this point every story I've tested from their short story compilations has resulted in a hit from Literotica.

One would think it'd be in Literotica's best interests to ensure author's works are protected.

I realize we're basically part of a Mom & Pop operation (and thank you for it), but I wonder if Literotica can take standing as a publisher to organize LitE authors' responses to stolen stories?
For example, today I stumbled across

Wouldn't be surprised to learn that many of the other BTB stories on this site came from our LitE colleagues.
