🚩 Report: Copyright infringement
We received a DMCA takedown notice from the representatives of Transformative Works (link) alleging that materials in this repository uploaded by you infringe their copyright.
When we receive a DMCA notice, we are required to remove access to the allegedly infringing materials.
@nyuuzyou
, You may submit a counternotice if you believe the takedown request is unfounded. Please send it over to [email protected] and we will forward it to the reporter. A sample counter-notice can be found at https://www.copyright.gov/512/sample-counter-notice.pdf.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Hugging Face Team
For the community: I have filed a counter-notice in response to the DMCA takedown of my dataset. According to the DMCA process, the dataset should be restored within 10-14 business days unless OTW takes legal action. I believe the takedown request was unfounded, and I'm working to make this dataset available again as soon as possible.
Stop stealing from us.

Your 'work' is stolen from copyright holders in the first place. Unless you claim to own Naruto, One Piece, and Harry Potter?
None of those. Original fiction, actually. And regardless, the tos on this very website disagrees with you as well as the laws regarding transformative works. Fanfiction is by literal copyright law definition not stealing anymore than the divine comedy is stealing from the source it's based on. AO3 made it very clear that this was illegal and their legal team is currently issuing takedowns, from my understanding. Something doesn't have to be the best art ever to still be legally protected. Not stealing isn't hard. Just be a decent person. These are the works of millions of people. Just don't. It was already free for you to enjoy. But I guess some people just like to spit on the joy of others.

In that case, this dataset would include work stolen from the copyright holders of Naruto, One Piece, and Harry Potter and would still be against TOS (and the law).
While we can disagree on what fanfiction is or it's value, no matter what this is a stolen dataset.
Then the final point is that under US law while the characters and IP are owned by the original copyright holders, the written work or art created by fans is owned by those fans.
Just like an official artist would hold the copyright of an image of Mickey Mouse they made (even if they don't own the character) until or unless they signed away the copyright to Disney as part of their contract.
Additionally they can give Disney distribution rights (part of copyrights) while keeping the right to make derivative works for themselves (Disney would rarely allow this, this is a metaphor). This is similar to fanfic authors or fanartists giving OTW the right to distribute their work on Archive of Our Own.
This is in contrast to this dataset which has not been given distribution rights by the fanfic authors or fan artists whose work has been stolen.
We could get into derivative vs transformative works as well, but that's for another day.

In which case the actual copyright holders or their registered agents are the only ones who can file a DMCA, not people who are purposely infringing on copyright themselves.
And no, you don't have permission from Disney or any other person to distribute your plagiarised works. You do realise AO3 is a far more viable target for a DMCA than this dataset, right?
My works are among the ones scraped and the majority of that is original works (about 2 million words worth of original work and some 500k fanfic) and I have not consented to either being used.
Go cry harder that you got called out. I'm sure everyone would feel safer that you can't see their stuff.
I blocked them too 👍 i don't think it hides our stuff from them though, i just did it to be petty
If you also mute them it prevents them from seeing your stuff. Both blocking and muting
Yeah- no, I'm sorry but it doesn't work like that. It just stops them from interacting from you, it doesn't hide your work
You can also block them and other users from your work via workskin https://archiveofourown.org/works/39038346

That still only hides THEIR works from YOU, not YOUR works from THEM
Jeez, you would think a bunch of AO3 authors would know how their own site works ...

I naturally don't post often nor had to block people
@NauticNine Still available on datafish.ru :)
Oh thanks, now I can go find them there and remind them to remove our shit 💜
Remind me where the DMCA takedown email on this Russian website is? Or how one is supposed to take down a torrent?
Everyone go block MindlessForMinerva
They’re fine with stealing your work

Everyone report Delirious and Vanoss-esque comment
OP is looking at 12M counts of copyright infringement against a website that has a legal team on retainer, i hope the OTW presses charges! 😁
