I'm the author of the said book. I spent one year and a half writing full-time to complete the book. Now, most of the copies sold on Amazon are pirated copies. I have filed copyright claims many times and Amazon does nothing. It’s a very sad story. A third-party seller can simply upload a random book or audiobook, and directly link it to your product page is very scary.

Hey Alex. Thanks for all you've done for the software engineering community. Would suggest legal action against this.

I've never thought that something like this is possible. I hope that Amazon will do something about this.
