another site ripping off fanfic authors and fanartists!

a site called Ebooks tree is skimming off fics from AO3 and hosting them on their site, they make revenue by ad-clicks and as an author, if you want to read comments on your work you have to pay a fee, lots of my friends are finding their fic there, as a fic author, you have copyright (except where you quote other sources) and you can request for the files to be taken down.

HA! just found a ton of my stuff there

here is a link on how to make the complaint:

yeah, well, they just ripped everything off the Ao3 site, and while they only took the art (which is low-rez web only versions with watermarks) it still pisses me off, cos this is a for profit site.
