Tech Author's Technical Books Face Rampant Piracy on Amazon .in (Amazon India)
My technical books - System Design Interview Vol 1, Vol 2, and Machine Learning System Design Interview - are being illegally sold on Amazon .in (Amazon India).
I’ve been battling this issue for months. My publisher and I have filed dozens of copyright claims, conducted test purchases, and collected evidence - but the problem persists. I feel lost and helpless.
100% of my books sold on Amazon .in (Amazon India) are pirated copies. This means:
- More and more developers are receiving low-quality, pirated books
- The pirates profit off my hard work
- My books are getting hundreds of incorrect 1-star reviews due to piracy
The pirated books are linked to my Amazon listings, so reviews meant for the pirates end up on my product pages.
If you are in India, the books are now exclusively sold through Shroff Publishers.

This issue means so much to me as an author. Thank you for reading and for your help.
