List of Suspected Piracy

[TheKillingAlice]

Well... same. And I felt a little offended, too.

Same.
Though I told myself it's because mine isn't finished yet. Surely, that's the reason. *cries in incompetence*

I will post this here for anyone interested in following along.

So, there is this site:

[removed]

Your typical copy-paste novel site. My books are also up there, so I decided to take action and get them down.

Step 1

• I checked their contact below; it had a contact e-mail posted. Okay, so be it.
• I wrote an e-mail, and as my works are also registered with https://www.protectmywork.com/ I had templates at my disposal to download, fill out, and send on their way. With a third-party witness that I am the copyright holder of said books, it should be enough proof.

Step 2

• They have a Facebook page. For good measure, I also contacted Facebook about it.

Step 3

• My bet is that nobody reads emails at the given address, so I went a step further.
• I used a host-checking website like https://sitechecker.pro/hosting-checker/ and https://webrate.org/ to find out who the website/domain host was.
• Finding out it was Cloudflare, it was easy to continue. I filled out their DMCA form, included the required details, and sent it in.

Step 4

• Now I wait. Will update after the results are in.

Does this site get money from your book? If not, it's just free publicity?

It isn't about profit. It is about sending a message.

I am open to posting my works on different sites if I am asked to come and check them out. Otherwise? No. I'm gonna DMCA it.

Edit:

And it isn't publicity if nothing leads back to my works & community and half-assed copied onto a pirate site without any oversee from the authors.

They didn't let the link in your synopsis? I know some site who copy paste and they let all the link, they even link the original site.

They even created a fake author profile in my name posting them.

I see, they just garbage, I understand now, should have looked the site before. I just thought that they all do the same as the one where I read sometime.

Update:

Facebook removed its Facebook site.

 

[ShipTeaser]

Yeah my story is like 170 chapters behind on that site... They always stop uploading when they hit the chapters dealing with China lol

 

[Aiyoki]

I'm guessing that [removed] is a Chinese website since their contact email is a tictok address...

That being said, it appears that both the stories I've posted content for here on scribblehub are on their site... The fanfic I'm not really worried about but they stopped posting Crimson Fields chapters before the chapter where I actually inserted a tidbit about how the readers should be reading the story on scribblehub

The list should be probably updated with the names of the original author and their works, next to the links of the stolen works on Amazon.

The list should be probably updated with the names of the original author and their works, next to the links of the stolen works on Amazon.

If I knew the OG authors and works, sure, but then again, there is like 50 AI copies uploaded to amazon every day and it is almost impossible to track down OG works unless you knew them beforehand. I have notified a few dozen authors privately and helped them take their stuff down, but alone this is basically a vain effort.

Also, I do not have the time to keep the list updated regularly, so I gave up on that at some point.
