🚩 Report: Copyright infringement
Hi there, I hope these requests are still being acknowledged.
I am a user of Archiveofourown and go by the names CelestialPaperHaze and TheAngstHaze. I have been informed that several works of which I am the copyright holder have been collected and are currently being held in your Ao3 dataset. I will not be linking my works here, to prevent abuse.
As has been publicly stated by the uploader: ”the dataset was created by processing works with IDs from 1 to 63,200,000 that are publicly accessible”. My work IDs are contained in this range.
Furthermore, the Archive states in their Terms of Service that writers own the copyrights to their works; “AO3 maintains that fanworks are transformative and that a fanwork's creator owns the rights to the expressions in their work that are unique to them. A fanwork creator holds the rights to their own content, just the same as any professional author, artist, or other creator.”
Using this evidence, I state clearly that the data in this dataset associated with my name belongs to ME, and me only.
I did not consent for my works to be a part of this dataset, and I am writing here to request it is promptly removed from any data scraping, data collection, AI training/learning, and any other unapproved usages of my content. You should also receive an email containing a CSV of my specified data within 12 hours of this post. If you have not received this email, it means that it has not gone through; in that case, I request you provide an alternative point of contact through which I can provide the necessary information for my works to be removed.
By making this post, I expect all data attached to my names to be removed within 2-5 days.
I also formally state that from this moment and into the indefinite future, neither you nor HuggingFace is granted permission to use my works, or include them in datasets/collections, unless I have explicitly stated otherwise in writing. In case I have not made myself abundantly clear, I additionally request my data to be removed from ALL other websites where this dataset has been uploaded.
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 immediate attention to this matter.
