Theft

I used to own another site at www.nocouponclipping.com. Below is just one example of someone selling my e-book without my permission. It's a great e-book but I was losing a lot of sales due to thieves! My potential customers could pay me $14.95, or they could get it for $1 from this thief, or download it for free for themselves (since it was unprotected).

I contacted this lady to inform her that she was selling unlicensed software and that my lawyer would be in touch if she didn't remove the post. She said she wasn't even aware that she couldn't resell it and promptly ended the Ebay listing early. She was one of the good ones.

There was another lady selling up to 15 copies per Ebay post for less than $1 each, before I found her. She refused to take the post down, until I contacted Ebay and Paypal.

This other time my download URL was posted by one of my customers in a newsgroup for stay at home moms trying to save on their food bill. Who knows how many actually downloaded it for free before I could change the URL.

There are numerous other instances where my product was given away, stolen, or sold. These would've never happened in the first place if the Virtual Vault was around then.
