What would you suggest then Bob? You've been around long enough to know there really isn't anything that can be done to stop this. Believe me, I wish there was. I tried for a long time before I came to the realization that I could either spend all my time stressing over it and trying to get every site that passes on my stuff shut down or I could focus on what I can control. The reality is there are licensed members here who get some sort of warped kick out of being part of the "underground" and have no respect for the authors and their work and could care less about the damage it does. There are literally thousands of websites giving away (and yes, sometimes profiting from) our work. Talk to Howard at Pirate Reports if you think there is something you can do proactively...he'll tell you the best thing you can do is pay him $1000's each month and let him track down these fools and shut them down. For every one you shut down, 5 more pop up in their place
