@cstross real pirates buy the books and upload them to pirate websites, dipshits download books from pirate websites and try to sell them
It might be related to a technical bug but I still blame Apple Books here, how can they let randos publish books without a human reviewing it?
Like without a Unicode bug you could still publish as CharIie Stross (that L is actually a capital I), or Chalie Ströss and it might still fool people. I doubt another band-aid will fix their fake seller problem.
Are they gonna make you whole and pay you the money you would have made at least?
