Found it here
https://audio-book-ai.com/book/the-...ntal-time-traveler-volume-1completed-RR-91003

I didn't give permission for this so this should be fun.

You can't listen to anything without an account but I intend to figure it out and submit a DCMA. Figured others would want to check it out as well.

Open websites don't mean open for others to copy, it's still Paul's story and he didn't give permission for them to host it, so he can still issue a takedown notice. I think that blurb is there to try and deflect blame without actually thinking about it

I see people posting here about their stories being scraped and posted elsewhere like this. I always search for mine (just in case) and it's always a mix of "Yay, mine hasn't been stolen!" and "Damn, i'm not big enough to have been stolen..."

Oh good. I just realized I'm safe! I was told that my style of writing, where I write the dialogues like this:
"Did you think this through? (S)
"Yep, eating this guy is the best course of action!" (L)

Leads to plenty issues for trying to use audio on it. Good to know.

Shit, mine's there as well.


So, uhm, how do people DMCA things?

Edit: I just randomly searched for the title of the book on Google and this site didn't show up at all. But instead, I found it on this shady looking reading site:


Maybe people should check this one out as well. If I hover over "Read Now" the link seems to lead to some on-site reading platform (that said, they only took the book, not the chapters, so nothing could be read there, it's just weird).

Somebody made an audiobook of my series without my permission on YouTube. I cringe so hard listening to it. Not even because of the voice, but I am like "did I really write this garbage?"
I've been considering trying my hand at horror. Writing a story then reading it as an audiobook to post over some crappy AI art on youtube. kinda lika that Hy-fy channel, but horror based.
I've made it.

bigger story? More readers? Luck? Maybe the threshhold for smut to be stolen is higher than other stories, due to the smutty nature? I dunno. I'm not even really worried about audiobooks, personally. Someone wants to VA the moans and groans and dirty words, let 'em (Until I fight back, but I'll be laughing the whole time). I'm mostly concerned about scraping it to post on their own sites.

To be honest, the entire website feels more like a portfolio project created by a beginner programmer than a legitimate site. I doubt someone actually uses it.
