Rachel Smith owns the fantastic, paranormal review site, Bitten By Books, and Rachel took a very strong stand recently when a pirate attempted to conduct business on one of the Bitten By Books forums.

Hi Blood Bank Members,
When you accept books in eBook format for FREE from another member or person you are STEALING, this is eBook PIRACY. You are stealing royalties from the authors and the publishers. Please don't do it on our forum or anywhere else for that matter. If I find anybody else doing this here, I will report you to the publisher, the author and your ISP. There is a ZERO Tolerance policy about this here and at http://BittenbyBooks.com
This is serious CRIME and you may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by these organizations. Just because YOU have received a free eBook does NOT give you the right to share it with anybody else contrary to popular belief. Please read the article below and be educated about what you are doing.
