Do you think piracy is a “victimless” crime? Think again!

Okay, so I am posting this as a “notification” and a “warning.”


To anyone that thinks that it is “okay” to download books (or anything else) from a pirate site because “it’s not hurting anyone.” think again! I am not even going to go into the obvious financial loss to an author every time their book is downloaded without their consent.  I am going to talk about “Identity theft!” and in particular, “my identify theft.”


Yes, I am pissed off!


Some time ago as part of my overall marketing strategy, I decided to let go of my domain name “Ingrid Hall DOT com” (I am not posting a link for obvious reasons).  I moved everything over to my new site.  At that time, I had no way of knowing that some ARSEHOLE would then take over the domain and use it for illegal purposes!


That’s right; it would appear that the new owner of my old domain name is not only uploading all sorts of stuff to pirate websites but they have…wait for it…the audacity to tag  Author Ingrid Hall in their dodgy promo posts!


I am BEYOND furious.


So, clearly anyone wanting to reach me – please delete Ingrid Hall DOT com from your favourites and follow me instead via  this link.http://www.luv2write.net


So, to be crystal clear:



I accept NO responsibility or liability for anything that the new owner is doing over on my old site.
If the ARSEHOLE involved happens to read this post, then rest assured I have run a WHOIS search. You won’t hide forever.  I WILL be taking this to the police and relevant authorities today.  I strongly suggest that you remove any tags with “Author Ingrid Hall” in them immediately and cease and desist using my name because I consider this to be IDENTITY THEFT.
