Yes, we spend our time on marketing to increase traffic and therefore we expect better sales.
But someone started new store where he sells (or gives away for free) our content and this is why people visit your website amazingastrid.com to see what's new and then they type "rs amazingastrid" at google - and this way they can access your content for free. Try this and you can see how many of your zipped files are online.
We should not spend our time investigating and fighting content thieves. This should be done by proper services (FBI etc).
If someone stolen your car - do you spend your time looking for the thief ??? No, you just go to Police and they do this for you because you are paying taxes and it is their job to protect your property.
And yes - we should create strong community and start pushing for bringing down forums and file sharing services. Those are transnational criminal organizations stealing our intelectual property!
