The fear of piracy and copyright theft is real. So, kudos to the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) for helping authors (veterans or indies) in protecting our rights. And for giving us space to sell books in your events!

There is no circumstance where a company should be allowed to make the intentional choice to download 1000s of pirated books to save time/money and then use them for whatever they want. The pirate site itself shouldn’t exist. #meta #bookpiracy

I'm sick of pirate book sites.
A novel takes YEARS to write and edit. Surely you can spare a little to BUY it, or if not, USE A LIBRARY.
It's so damaging to authors and we won't be able to write more books if we don't get paid.
