i think some of you are too young to remember the “I don’t own *original IP* or the characters. All rights belong to the creator. I gain no profit from this body of work.” disclaimer that was copy-pasted onto the start of every fanfic. bc wdym you think you “own” your fanfic 😭

We are ONE FUCKING USER to claim they have copyright rights from their TRANSFORMATIVE FANWORK to get OTW nuked from Earth legally.
Your fanwork is only allowed to exist becase OTW argued is fair use AS A DEFENSE FROM INFRINGMENT OF COPYRIGHT.
I'm going to eat my entire fist.

sabe o que é mais engraçado? o ao3 foi literalmente o responsável em dar segurança jurídica para os escritores de fanfic! lá no inicio dos nos 2000 a anne rice vivia processando quem fazia fanfic de iwtv e a fanfiction..net imediatamente deletava e haviam categorias de fandoms q eram banidas para evitar essa confusão com autores chatos. existe literalmente todo um braço jurídico pra manter A SUA FANFIC NO AR que trabalha sem fins lucrativos e vive de doações para manutenção. quer ter domínio sobre sua obra de personagens que sequer te pertencem? crie seu próprio repositório e responda seus b.o s

something something about corporations inserting themselves into the business of ao3, one of the last anti censorship, capitalism-free and ad-free places on the internet. #ao3outage

Okay since a lot of people are just talking for the sake of it, I took the time to go through the actual historical budget and financials of AO3. I’ll leave the links at the end so you can draw your own conclusions.
ao3 has got to be money laundering cause that site should not be held together by sticks and glue like it is when they get millions in donations every year
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OTW, which runs AO3, publishes annual budgets and IRS Form 990s. Recent revenue ~$800k-$1M in donations, majority for AO3 servers/hosting/equipment. Volunteer-run with $0 salaries. Financials public.

AO3 is doing what every security engineer dreams of being able to do after a breach. finding evidence of a breach and getting to say “we are taking everything offline for 2-4 WEEKS to ensure it’s completely clean and do a full investigation” is unheard of with for-profit companies.

Hello, English-speaking friends! I used AI to translate this speech by our President, Lula, given during an interview ahead of Brazil’s elections. His words inspired thousands of students to take to the streets and fight to win over voters, reach undecided voters, and convince people who hadn’t voted in the first round to cast their ballots in the runoff.
In Brazil, fascists don’t stand a chance!

🚨‼️ WHILE AO3 is down ‼️🚨
If you read fic from someone’s shared drive, please keep in mind that the authors won’t see any hits/kudos on their work.
Once the site is back up, make sure to show those authors some love with kudos/comments. We must feed them if we want to eat
