An alert for fanfic writers: Fanfic works are being stolen from AO3 and possibly elsewhere by someone who is publishing and selling them on Amazon as ebooks. The link below includes instructions on how to file an infringement claim www.tumblr.com/mckitterick/...
The link is, thank the stars, old; all the Plush Books but one (which has a hardcopy and Amazon probably won't take it down till that one copy sells, without a DMCA) are Unavailable and have been since they were reported to death the first time.
Still good DMCA info on that link!
and not only that they literally stole from dmc 5 like that just nero........the balls of these people. Jesus anime Christ what the heck and they thought this was a good idea?!!?
This is a strange spot, legally. Technically fanfic based on IP owned by others isn't copyrightable so there can't be infringement against the writer of the fanfic. And also it's illegal to sell the fanfic (as you can't sell work based on someone else's copyright)
This is from a couple of years ago; I thought I recognized it. But it has definitely happened multiple times, although the biggest steal is usually someone taking a fic to post it on wattpad.
