Ending our relationship with Scribd...

E-mail

SNAFU! Picasa Slideshow

Hey all.
What follows is one of about 75 e-mails that I received from Scribd...
Dear snafu-solomon-blogspot-com,
Scribd's automated copyright protection system identified a book in your Scribd account as a
copy and a possible copyright infringement of a book distributed through Smashwords. As a
result, Scribd has proactively disabled access to the copy of the book titled "Marine Corps
Operations" (id: 25408427) in your account and will be replacing it with a version
distributed through Smashwords.
Scribd has recently signed an agreement with Smashwords to offer many of their titles as part
of our subscription reading service. As part of this agreement, we are removing all detected
copies of the Smashwords books and replacing them with the Smashwords distributed version.
If you are the author of this book, you don't necessarily need to take any action: by default,
your copy will simply be replaced by the Smashwords copy. If you would like to restore your
version on Scribd, please forward this notification to copyright@scribd.com with a brief
explanation of the situation. A member of our copyright team will review the matter, confirm
your status as the author, and work with you to re-instate the content.
For more information about Scribd's relationship with Smashwords, please see this article:
http://blog.smashwords.com/2013/12/smashwords-signs-distribution-agreement.html. For
more information about Scribd.com's copyright policy in general, there are several articles
available at http://www.scribd.com/copyright.
Best regards,

Long story short?

Scribd can suck a dick.
They're blacklisting open source materials? Fuck them! All I have on my Scribd account are
Military Manuals, Govt Brochures, Weapons Brochures etc...
NOTHING COPYRIGHTED to an individual!!
If you enjoy my stuff then get it before midnight tomorrow. I'm looking for a new home for my content

Kinda like walking into your grandson's school with a US Marine T-shirt on and getting kicked out for
the crossed rifles in the Weapons training battalion emblem inscribed upon it.

OH ITS ALL ABOUT WANTING TO INCREASE THE BOTTOM LINE! sad thing is they're gonna
find out real quick that people have choices on the internet. thats why they're so desperate
to pass a global internet tax. but i make a small stand with the bastards at Scribd. fuck
them with a tent stake? nope. the business end of an entrenching tool if i'm feeling
charitable.

Solomon, you should actually respond and request that the government public domain material you
have be white listed. This is less Scribd's fault and much more the sleazy biz practices of a company
called 21st Century US Military Manuals which basically copies US Gov military manuals and adds
some additional formatting. This is obviously causing the automated copyright infringement system
issues. There really is no man in the loop system with these systems because it simply is not
feasible.

i did respond and gave up after replying to 25 of those false e-mails. i counted the number
of military manuals (both Army and Marine Corps) along with armored vehicle brochures,
concepts developed by the various services and official histories and came up with well
over 300 items on their website.
i'm not going to refute 300 items and then go through with a pencil the other 300 that are
on there.

You can still publish these on Lulu, which will take you to iTunes, B&N, and Kobo (Amazon, too - but
they don't like public domain, so may reject them.) GooglePlay will also take public domain books.
I just started getting some really weird emails from Scribd, replacing books with "Smashwords"
editions that don't exist under their "copyright violation" banner.
I quit Scribd a couple of years back over their "filter" issues like this. Plenty of other ways to publish
books that aren't so damned oddball.
