Samuel  | 648 comments Found this interesting article. The author in my opinion was too meek, too pitying when she should have unleashed hellfire and damnation on the thief.

(not sure if this is the right folder for this post but it's non fiction and a real life story about a threat to author's everywhere, shift it to the appropriate folder if necessary.)

I agree that the author's response was way too lame and cared too much about someone who was a thief and a liar. You would expect someone who writes crime thrillers to know human nature better, yet she displays in her response to have been plagierized an amazing level of naiveté and misplaced pity. Intellectual property is as much if not more valuable than any material property and should be protected accordingly.

Agreed. kudos to Amazon for smiting the offender after being given a satisfactory level of evidence.
