How do you get your stuff taken off of a pirate site? CROWDED’s up to 95,000 reads on one I just looked at, while I’m completely broke.

Seriously. 95000 READS over the 10 issues. What the everloving fuck. We’ve already had to shorten the book due to a lack of money.

This royally pisses me off. People like that think they’re stealing from a big company, but on an indie book they’re just stealing from the team.

I wish I hadn’t looked. I always knew we would be pirated, and figured it would be a few thousand. Just shy of 6 figures is obscene, though. Especially for a book having to go to trade because it’s not profitable.
