    I'm sure it would be a bitch, but is there anyway to make it so the text on DLP can't be copied?
    Of course there are still there is still the problem of FF downloading programs.

    I still can't get over the fact that he's copying Harry Potter and the Perils of Investigative Journalism.

    Sent takedown notices for both copies of WYLB.

    Kind of a weird feeling. I'd say I'm 30% flattered, 30% confused, 30% annoyed, and 10% pissed off.

    Himuradono Thanks.

    The other list is fully identified, but got still one gap in the other one.

    Is anyone familiar with the HP and Discworld crossover? Am still looking for the original author of this to notify them.

    Just ran into a copy paste of "The Black Prince." Was amused, annoyed, and angry at the same time.

    Maybe he's trying to send me a message that he wants me to continue it.

    Would it work? I might start putting it up if the answer's yes.

    The troll just cleared both accounts.

    At least it seems that he is not accessing WbA at the moment (or wasn't able to do so yesterday). All new uploads were from FFN or other sites; WbA stories were just recovered from before. So perhaps he's been banhammered from here since last week.

    Edit: taking my words back. The last upload was done two hours ago, "How to Break Your Contract in Five Easy Steps" by Republic.

    That makes me suspect that they deleted the content only because they just gained access to WbA.

    I've discovered this user has uploaded the first chapters of Wand and Shield and The Lie I've Lived just a few minutes ago.

    The thing that baffles me most about this guy (except his motive) is that the first account is from 2013.
    Almost makes me think they're taking over unused accounts for some reason.

    Also, I think Keith is Taure, Mark is Silens, and Joe is, well, Joe.

    It's actually starting to be more funny than anything. The more I think about to the more I kind of feel sorry for him. :/

    I just continue to be amazed of the sheer amount of time the guy wastes with this.
