“The dirty little secret of publishing is that, all along, each book sold has had an average of 5 readers. That’s an 80% “piracy” rate.”
– Charles Stross

Loss to the authors
The authors put in lot of efforts in preparing the books and are deprived of their genuine royalty due to sale of duplicate/pirated books.
Loss to the publishers
Publishers undertake strenuous efforts and put in a lot of labour and capital in publishing good books. They are deprived of return on their investments.
Loss to the Government
Government is deprived of their rightful revenue in form of GST and other taxes due to sale/purchase of duplicate/pirated books.
Loss to the society
Selling of pirated/duplicate books is nothing but a theft of hard work put in by author/publisher. Purchasing of such material amounts to encouraging this immoral act which is another form of corruption.
So, let us all join hands to stop this immoral and unethical practice of selling/buying pirated/duplicate books and purchase only genuine books. Let us respect the law of the land and avoid prosecution by resorting to unlawful activities.
Please cooperate in the noble cause.
