The Best Choice for Prolific Authors with a Large Backlist

For a prolific author with a large backlist, or one currently building a large backlist, your books aren’t just stories—they are the foundation of your business. However, many DMCA services use corporate models that punish productivity, scaling their fees with every new format or translation you add to your library.

BookDefender is different. We’ve built a protection model specifically for authors who understand that a growing backlist requires a smarter, not more expensive, security strategy.

1. The “True Title” Model: Protection Built for Your Backlist

Most services charge per ISBN or per digital asset. If you have a book in ebook, audiobook, and two translations, they charge you for four separate items. At BookDefender, Ebook + Audiobook + Translations = 1 Title.

• The Strategy: We protect the intellectual property, regardless of the format. This allows authors currently building a large backlist to expand into audio or foreign rights without their security costs ballooning.
• The Value: This model effectively provides a 60–70% discount compared to services that treat every format as a separate billing entity.

2. Zero-Effort Sourcing: We Handle the Admin

Your time is best spent on your next release, not managing spreadsheets.

• Automated Onboarding: You don’t need to submit every link manually. Simply provide a link to your website or your retailer author page, and our team handles the sourcing for your entire backlist.
• The Benefit: We eliminate the “admin headache” of protecting a large library. You provide the list of books; we build the shield.

3. Equal-Priority Hunting (No “Old Book” Penalty)

In the world of piracy, your debut novel is just as vulnerable as your current new release. While other services might deprioritize older backlist titles, we treat your entire body of work with the same level of aggression.

• Aggressive Monitoring: A book from ten years ago is hunted with the same intensity as a release from last week.
• Maximum ROI: Because we bundle formats, you receive elite, 24/7 human-verified protection across your entire backlist for a fraction of the market rate.

4. The 24/7 Human-Verified Shield

Purely bot-driven services frequently trigger “friendly fire,” accidentally flagging an author’s own website or a legitimate backlist promotion (like a Barnes & Noble Free Friday or a Kobo feature).

• Human Oversight: Every single takedown notice sent by BookDefender is verified by a human staff member before it is issued.
• Retailer Safety: This ensures your standing with major platforms (Amazon, Apple, Kobo) remains spotless, preventing the “False Positive” nightmare that can lead to account flags or lost royalties.

5. Advanced Whitelisting

We maintain a sophisticated “Safe List” of your authorized vendors and promotional partners.

• Invisible Protection: Our security measures are invisible to your legitimate readers but a brick wall for pirates.
• Customization: Whether you sell direct, through Kindle Unlimited, or are “wide” across all retailers, your authorized links are pre-verified and never flagged.
