An Author’s Guide to Fighting Internet Copyright Infringements: How Publishers and Website Owners Can Protect Intellectual Property Online

by Morris Rosenthal

Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

 

Here’s the set-up:

I’ve probably spent more time fighting copyright infringements than writing books over the last six years. In one case, I went as far as a two and a half year fight in Federal court. But the bulk of my time has been wasted sending DMCA notices to sites that take down one infringement only to put up another.

After years of frustration I had given up even trying, but when copyright infringements began appearing above my own pages in Google search following their 2011 Panda update, fighting infringements took on a new urgency.

In this guide, I describe the tools and techniques that finally had an impact on the hundreds of thousands on infringements on my work indexed by Google and the other search engines. The main weapon in this fight is Google’s new DMCA Dashboard, a must-use first stop for anybody fighting online copyright infringement. I describe how to efficiently use DMCA Dashboard to clean up Google search results, and when it’s important to deal directly with website owners.

One person filing DMCA complaints and cease and desist orders won’t have any impact on the business model of copyright infringement. But if tens of thousands of authors and publishers start standing up for their rights and explaining to readers how copyright infringements are damaging their ability to continue creating new works, it will have an impact.

I am a pro-Internet author. I have been publishing online since 1995, I publish eBooks without DRM, and I give away large amounts of my work on my website. And I sincerely believe that if we fail to stop the culture of copyright infringement, the Internet of the future will contain nothing but opinions, product reviews and propaganda. Copyright protection is what allows authors and publishers to earn a living. If we don’t stand up for our rights, we will lose them.

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Zuleika Arkadie’s Parched, A Paranormal Romance (Parched, Book 1) – Just $2.99, and Free for Amazon Prime Members Through the Kindle Lending Library

4 stars – 9 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

Here’s the set-up:

Parched (Parched, book 1)

“Baron Ford, he says and pauses to pick apart my expression, attempting to read how familiar I am with that name. I nod stiffly to give no indication I know exactly, who that is. I’m shocked to hear that name in this setting, at this stage of my life, the one far away from Cambridge, Massachusetts over five years later.”

Advertising Exec, Clarity Parker thought she’d never see Baron Ford again. Five years ago, they shared the date of her life and then he literally vanished into thin air. Now he’s back and has asked that she, exclusively, be assigned to his multi-million dollar account.

On the day the fog rolls in, not only can she no longer avoid him but she can no longer avoid herself. See, Clarity has an ability that she’s run away from her entire life. She’s learning an ability like hers doesn’t come for free, and something or someone is trying to make her pay for it with her life.

Her world is soon turned upside down after she escapes to a place called Enu. It’s here Clarity learns who and what she truly is. She also learns that Baron Ford is Baron Ze Feldis; he’s a vampire, and what bonds them runs deeper than anything she can ever imagine.

Their bond is further tested when they end up not only battling Baron’s psycho ex-vampire girlfriend, who wants Clarity dead but also “the evil” as they journey in search of the book which holds the Prophecy of the Seven Seeds.

One thing’s for sure, from this point on, their lives will never be the same.

PARCHED SERIES BOOKS AVAILABLE:

Parched (Parched, book 1)
The Seventh Sister (Parched, book 2)
Quenched (Parched, book 3)
The Fifth Sister (Parched, book 4)

From the Author

Parched is my first real paranormal romance novel. Like all of my novels it took me a year or so to conceive the bare-bones of this story. I knew what sort of power I wanted my main character to have and what the end game will be. I struggled to write it for a while. Until one day I sat down, closed my eyes and began to think. What Parched is now came out of that process.
This novel is an ambrosia salad of my favorite genres; chick-lit, the sexual tension in romance novels, love stories, action adventure and fantasy. I absolutely love almost any story set in New York City regardless of what genre it is. So adding all of these elements to my story was a no brainer after I engaged my brain!

4.8 stars – 46 Reviews

Here’s the set-up:

Get ready for another Sullivan bad boy to fall in love in the third book of Bella Andre’s bestselling contemporary romance series!

Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire…and can’t stop thinking about.

Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving – and losing – a man with a dangerous job again.

Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter…but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to risk everything she’s been guarding for so long?

This winter, if one – or both – of them aren’t careful, they just might end up falling in love.

Heads Up! You Have Until Noon EST Today to Enter This Week’s Brand New KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes, Sponsored by Matt Schorr, author of Elijah

Feeling lucky?

Did you win a Kindle Fire tablet this week?

If you are Alan Tucker of Grants Billings, Montana, you did. Alan won his on Monday in last week’s Kindle Nation Daily KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes, and when it arrives at his home today he will become the 15th citizen of Kindle Nation to win a Kindle Fire from us in the past few months.

But we’d like for you to be one of about 50 people who will win one of these Kindle Fire tablets from us during the remainder of 2012, and all you have to do is follow the extremely easy steps at the end of this post to have a great chance to win.

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

Matt Schorr, author of ELIJAH

Like each one of our weekly sweepstakes, this week’s giveaway is sponsored by a talented author who has proven to be a favorite with our readers. Elijah author Matt Schorr is springing for the Kindle Fire that could very well end up with your name on it, so it only makes sense to pay it forward and stimulate both your karma and your imagination at the same time by chancing $3.99 to grace your Kindle with a novel that is averaging 4.2 stars on 4 out of 4 rave reviews from discriminating readers like us.

Here’s the scoop on Elijah:

Elijah

by Matt Schorr

4.2 stars – 4 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
 
Here’s the set-up:

One Lord. One faith. One baptism.

These are the dictates that rule Antioch, a small, rural community tucked away in the hills of Kentucky. There is no dissension. No discord or strife. All of Antioch’s citizens gather each week without fail at one church. One church and no other: ChristPoint.

The Rev. John Joshua Hutchinson serves as pastor for the church and indeed the entire community. As Antioch’s sole spiritual leader, he holds near-absolute power over all who live there.

But that’s about to change.

A mysterious stranger is about to enter Antioch, an unassuming man with a stranger power all his own. His name is Elijah, and he wields a power like no one in history–save one.

But who is he? What is he? Can he be trusted?

Elijah’s presence will challenge not only the power Rev. Hutchinson holds over Antioch, but also the mindsets of everyone in his community.

From the Reviews:

This was really a fun read and fascinating. For a new young author, it is remarkably well written with interesting characters in a unique religious setting that many will relate to. As a Christian, I could relate to the authority some church leaders hold over their congregations. Elijah isn’t what you might expect in a “healer” but I was glad the author didn’t try to make him into a spectacle or a Superman. I could not put the book down and it took me right up to the fireworks of New Year’s to finish. I highly recommend this book and look forward to seeing more from Matt Schorr.

–Amazon Reviewer Frank

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Aubrey Verboven’s Border Crossing, An Aid Worker’s into Bosnia– Just $2.99, and Free for Amazon Prime Members Through the Kindle Lending Library

Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
 

 

Here’s the set-up:

In 1994, the world beyond Justin’s scope is crumbling. Daily images of genocide in Africa and ethnic cleansing in Eastern Europe assault his conscience. Fresh out of university, Justin’s tame Toronto life is suffocating. Fuelled by restlessness and disgust, Justin begins a journey that takes him across borders caused by ignorance and indignity.

When he is hired by an aid group to deliver medical supplies in war torn Croatia and Bosnia, Justin is flooded with obstacles and the tangled bureaucracy of war. Clusters of frustrated Croatian refugees block all main roads so no aid can reach their former Serb oppressors. Thousands of Bosnian Muslim refugees who blindly follow an enigmatic warlord also obstruct assistance destined for their enemies inside the Bihac Pocket.

When the already violent but forgotten Bihac Pocket erupts in full-scale war, Justin’s deliveries become more critical than ever to the sick and wounded. As Muslim forces within the Pocket fight each other, surrounding Serb forces attempt to crush their trapped Muslim enemies once and for all.

If Justin is to help anyone, he must find a way to overcome duplicity, ethnic hatred and his own fears.

Border Crossings uses the oft-overlooked perspective of an aid worker to present a meticulous record of a forgotten corner of the Bosnian war. It is also the chronicle of a young man’s journey to examine the content of his own character and of those he has come to help.

About the Author:

 

Aubrey Verboven spent most of the 1990’s living and travelling in Eastern Europe with his wife. During this time, he worked for various aid groups and international organizations including Médecins Sans Frontières, CARE Canada, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration. He also contributed a number of travel articles to publications such as the Guardian Weekly, Globe & Mail and Central Europe Online. This is Aubrey’s first book.

Here’s the set-up:

David Chance can see messages in the sea of words around him, messages that warn him of future events.

Words are everywhere– on labels, magazines, sign posts, t-shirts– everywhere. And as much as David Chance would like to hide from them, he can’t. Words keep leaping off objects around him, forming messages in his mind. But how is this possible? Has his brain suddenly taken an evolutionary leap forward, or are the mysterious messages proof of divine intervention?

Driven to answer a question he’d long ago abandoned, and stalked by the killer he’s trying to stop, David risks everything to follow the messages to a dirty bomb set to go off in the heart of Boston. But can he trust the author of the messages to protect him from a terrorist who seems to know his every move.
