Hey all.
What follows is one of about 75 e-mails that I received from Scribd...
Dear snafu-solomon-blogspot-com,Long story short?
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,
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 and will give you the location once my migration is complete.
Oh and I gotta say it again.
FUCK SCRIBD!
