If you already did, donβt panic!! <3 Iβd just stop sending them anything further. And if you reused that password anywhere else, change it there too, and turn on 2FA if you havenβt already.

as a platform β for example, issues involving mass scraping, misuse of AO3βs name/branding, interference with the Archive, or broader legal/technical concerns affecting the site and its users collectively.

The distinction is basically between AO3 as a whole and individual fics.
OTW canβt file a copyright takedown on behalf of every individual author, because OTW does not own the copyright to our fanworks β we do.
But OTW can still take action where AO3 itself is affected +
The domain's current registration dates from Nov 1, three days after AO3 went down, yet the site claims 15.8 million works. You can't copy that from an AO3 that's offline: the content was already saved before this site appeared. 1/5
Replying to @7erracotta
Contact the domain host instead, you don't have to use your AO3 email, only provide proof of your ownership of the content and include all the offending links in one email.
So ao3 [dot] life is a website whose domain was JUST registered today, with millions (?) of fics as audiobooks within their database. Honestly this is highly suspicious β DO NOT email this site for taking your fics down, they have no business knowing that kind of information.
I think it is best for us writers to wait for ao3's legal team to update us on this. Let us not actually rashly and give this ao3 [dot] life site anymore data than it already has.

It's a result of scraping, not a copy of AO3 itself. They are clearly using some dump (probably the one that was taken down from archiveorg) for older fics + scraping for newer works on top. If your fic existed in the dump or when they scraped it, it will be on the damn site

Uma coisa curiosa que eu percebi Γ© que hoje mais cedo, eu pesquisei pelo meu nome e apareceu sΓ³ 3 obras (eu tenho 7 obras postadas) e uma delais ainda estava incompleta (sΓ³ 10 de 14 caps)
Fui olhar de novo, e agora tem 6 obras, e a que estava incompleta agora tem os 14 caps...

The site itself appears to have been active as far back as March of 2023 per the Wayback Machine (silently scraping in the meantime).
However, the fact they chose now to register their website domain (so shortly after AO3's security incident) is INCREDIBLY sus:

quick links.
contact otw
transformativeworks.org
they are our legal defense when it comes to fanfics
contact their host services:
[email protected]
alert them that one of their sites is being used to monetize copyrighted material illegally
contact their transaction provider:
[email protected]
CC as well: [email protected]
zo3life's payment processor is dodopayments.
write to them that their services are being used inappropriately.
invoke your rights. note that ao3life is stating that authors are getting 91% of profits when you have not consented or known about this.
taking down payment options will kill this site the fasts

Report the domain, website, whatever, even with ao3s lawyers possibly looking into it, submitting a report could probably help speed up the website getting taken down

This site is hosted by Namecheap, and you can contact their domain host with complaints at [email protected]
Every single work that has been reposted to this site without the express permission of the original fanfic authors is a violation of copyright

for those asking about email address and privacy. I emailed from my ao3 account because I deleted my ao3 and the email isn't attached to ANY other account. I'd suggest creating an email specifically to contact this website. Exercise internet safety.
Replying to @ihoarditall
I don't really know. I would generally create an email specific to this situation. I emailed from my ao3 email because I've deleted the account and I don't use that email for anything else. I'd suggest exercising internet safety and creating an email to contact them
moans retweeted
I have no desire to have any of your emails. In fact, I'd prefer we don't have to speak again (no offence). As I have stated, please use a burner when contacting the site administrator. If you don't wish to contact them, hopefully OTW and our collective rage gets the site removed
