This sort of thievery, is disgusting. They do the same with decks. I'm retired and have to watch my money, but I would never, ever buy a Bootlegged copy of anything. It cheats the true author and encourages the sales of these stolen, art, deck, books, documents, etc. It would be like you go to a bank and rob them, saying but I need the money ! No it's stealing which is against the law. You put hours upon hours into your work, not to mention your heart and soul. I'm so sorry you have had to go though all of this, its not right and thank you for telling us what we can do to keep this from happening to others. Bravo to you for taking them on. Have a Wonderful day and thank you for all you do !
Years ago when I did an expensive divination course which I saved up for, a ‘ friend’ said she would love to do the course but could not afford it. I told her that if she put some money each month she would eventually be able to do the course later. About one week later she emailed me to ask if I would mind sending her the workbook of the course! I was so annoyed i told her that it was not fair to the person who created the course and had put a lot of time and effort into putting the course together and be disrespectful to me asking me as she knew it had taken months and months to save up for the course. Some people are so greedy and selfish
100% I think it’s the ‘asking you for the workbook’ that actually grates with me the most because your friend knows you. I know it’s disrespectful to the teacher - but to me - I agree - very disrespectful to you xx I’m sorry you had that happen
Plagiarism is NOT good juju!!! I'm sorry to hear this has happened to you. I shop for digital items on Etsy and I see so much of this. I make sure that I'm buying from the original creator. It can be hard and, I have even just scrolled away if I couldn't figure it out.
