Automatic scans miss some listings, so Piracy Monitor gives you a quick way to check the sites yourself and log what you find.

Search the sites

  1. Open Piracy Monitor from the sidebar.
  2. Click Manual Search at the top of the page. A search panel opens.
  3. Choose the book from the dropdown. You can also add a new book from the same list.
  4. Click a site button to search that site for the book in a new tab, or click Open All to open every site at once.

The panel covers Google (PDF results), Anna's Archive and its other addresses, Library Genesis, PDF Drive, Z-Library (through Google), Mobilism, Ocean of PDF, PDF Room and Epub.pub. If only one tab opens when you click Open All, allow pop-ups for the app in your browser.

The DMCA Resources links at the bottom of the panel go to the removal and abuse pages of Google, Cloudflare, Internet Archive, Scribd, PDF Drive and Epub.pub.

Click Close Search to hide the panel.

Log a listing you found

  1. Click Add Report.
  2. Choose the Book. Add the ISBN if you want it included in the takedown notice.
  3. Paste the address of the pirated page into Infringing URL.
  4. If you know the site's abuse or DMCA address, enter it in Site Contact Email. It becomes the To address of the notice.
  5. Leave Status as Discovered unless you have already acted on it.
  6. Add any Notes, then click Add Report.

Book and Infringing URL are required. The report's timeline starts with an entry recording when you added it and its first status.

If you have pen names, a Pen Name field also appears, so you can filter your reports by pen name later.
