This Is A Big Old Y I K E S - Blog Posts

This is really not okay. Everyone on AO3 puts so much effort into their work. It really sucks that this app is getting profit from our work without asking for our permission.

#AO3 authors & readers out there, Fanfic Pocket Archive Library app on Google Play & Apple mirror/repost our works without permission. While selling subscription for no ads, and getting benefits from ads.

Ironically, I post on Archive, right after wattpad and my blog is to protect my works from copyright infringement. Now my works is on two different mirror Archive 3rd party app with ads and subscription features.

BTW, app user is also paying a teenager who doesn't understand the concept of copyright infringement or have any respect for hard working nonprofit authors, base on her responses to reviewers who are upset their works are used without their consent.

Authors are also losing out on hits, comments, and alerts. Most importantly, majority do not know that their works are used for profit.

Archive AO3's purposed was to protect fanfic authors from being exploited. It's a nonprofit runs by donation and writers around the world. Now they are losing readers to their sites, recognition, and donors, because someone think profiting from a community of unpaid writers is within her rights.

Unfortunately, AO3 can't do much except for the trademark issues. While it is up to individual authors to report to DCMA if they feel their copyrights was violated to Google and Apple app Store.

You can flag the app if you don't want to download the app to leave your review.
