by Pa-Pa-Plasma - opened

Good day,

My name is Pa_Pa_Plasma (my username on AO3, which is in the dataset proving that my works have been stolen) and I am the copyright holder of several works of art and writing that were collected and are currently contained in your dataset. I have not consented to my work being part of this dataset/collection. I request its expeditious removal from any data collection, data scraping, AI training, AI learning, or any other unapproved usage of my content. Once you have received my CSV with the specified data via email, I expect any matching data to be removed from any of the above items within three to five days .

In addition, in the future, I neither give, nor grant, you or HuggingFace permission to use my work or to include my works in datasets/collections, unless that work has been, in writing, specifically licensed to you by myself.

I will not be sharing my art and writing urls publicly to prevent possible abuse.

This letter is to serve as official notification of copyright infringement pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”) 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) (3) for materials in your collection.

Upon receipt of this notice, I request that you expeditiously remove or disable access to the materials identified above; being the subject of infringement.

I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that my rights as the exclusive copyright holder are being infringed.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

PSA: Your claim may be deemed invalid as it is missing identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, among other information.

Refer to this sample notice from the US copyright office when reformatting your request to include the Name, Description, and Location/URL of the claimed copyrighted work:
https://www.copyright.gov/512/sample-notice.pdf

Per: (3) Elements of notification.—

17 U.S. Code § 512(c)(3) specifically details the required elements that a notification of claimed infringement (a DMCA takedown notice) must include for it to be considered effective. These requirements typically involve:

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.

If the claimed copyrighted work is explicit in nature, you may consider sending a private communication to the other party. Hope this helps!

I stated my AO3 username immediately & clearly in my original post. I know for certain that my works were among those scraped & that this is illegal. I don't care what your excuses are. I don't care how you twist things or misunderstand the law. this is not only theft, but an insult to anyone with any morals. you are selfish & money-hungry at best. learn the purpose of art or don't interact with it at all. these are your only two choices. I won't be reading any more comments from sockpuppets trying to scare writers away from their rights. you are pathetic.
