I just wish to state for the record that it seems unnecessary that on the same day that our next-door neighbors break ground on their new driveway with all the requisite jackhammers and sleep-stopping dump trucks, I have to find out—like so many other friends and colleagues—that my work has been pirated by the plagiarism engines of Meta. Please send class action suits and an eighteen-pounder.

They've cannibalized all of Small Beer Press, gods rot them, so my books there are eaten.

Oddly, they haven't got Moonwise. It may be indigestible.

Now I'm trying to imagine an AI bot trained on my writing style. Good goddesses.

Did it ever have an e-book? I am wondering if that accounts for some of the patterns I am seeing of what is and is not apparently in LibGen, although clearly not all.

Never.

They've got my mother's first book, which has been up on the Internet Archive, but only as a scan. Whether they've been able to digest the text, who knows. (It exists in ebook form on my computer and a couple of other people's, but not yet, to my knowledge, elsewhere.)

I suppose one can always hope that an OCR threw some grit in the works.
