Ebook Theft - It Really Happens! (The Sad End)

This is an update on the ebook author who found out her ebooks were being unlawfully distributed and hired an attorney to send the offending party a cease and desist letter (see Ebook Theft - It Really Happens and Ebook Theft - It Really Happens (Part 2).

The ebook author has dropped her pursuit of the company that was distributing her ebooks without her permission. The person from the offending party who her attorney initially had contact with and who appeared to be cooperating is no longer with the company, and his replacement is playing games and stalling. Her attorney believes the company is positioning itself to file bankruptcy, which apparently is an ongoing trend with that company. The attorney didn't want the ebook author to sink a bunch of money into going after the offending party, only to have them turn around and file bankruptcy.

So I guess that's that! It's pretty sad that theives usually get away with stealing and making money off of other people's creative work one way or another.
