You keep 100% of your copyright on Chiify, and we distribute only through legitimate, authorised stores and libraries — never to grey-market channels.
How piracy risk is reduced
- Your files go to verified retail and library partners via our library aggregation hub.
- Stores apply their own protections; Chiify does not strip your rights.
- A clear copyright page asserts your ownership.
No DRM lock-in either
Avoiding piracy does not require punishing readers with heavy DRM — most authors find good metadata, fair pricing, and reach matter far more than copy protection.
If you find your book pirated
1. Note the infringing URL and gather proof you own the work — see proving your rights.
2. Send a takedown (DMCA) notice to the host or search engine.
3. Tell us — open a ticket and we will help where the listing came through a channel we deliver to.
Most pirate sites comply with a proper takedown notice.
