Hey friends and fans, just wanted to let you all know that the update that was supposed to come out today will have to be tomorrow, instead.

I found out the ENTIRETY of 'Artificer Legacy' was scraped by an AI text-to-speech YouTube channel and posted as five videos. Being stolen from sucks, but what was even worse was the channel creator had made a Patreon Page to make money off not only my stolen work, but all the other text-to-speech videos of other stolen fanfics too.

I went through the YouTube Copyright Claims process, only to get an email back saying that I needed to provide 'Specific links to the content I claimed was stolen.' ALL 85 CHAPTERS!!!

And I did it...took almost a full hour, but I did it. Now I have to wait, and it's completely ruined my mood. I WANTED to get out an update for everyone today, but now my Muse is just buried under frustration, anger, and annoyance at this situation.

Regardless of this, I DO want to get out an update, so I'm going to do my absolute best to make sure that Logia Brothers gets updated tomorrow. I hope you'll all look forward to it!

Damn it sucks that not only you had your story stolen but to have the prick that did it make money off off it is even worse

Grixis_Dragonlord

Kadrym

Xander1994

Take your time and I'm sorry to hear that man

Sebastian Pineda

Man that sucks has no ever heard of the word permission or something why steal someone else's work and then complain about when the owner finds out

Leah

So sorry that happened to you. These AI are getting out of hand take ur time to mentally rest we can wait

Jason Duncan

Geez I'm sorry about that dude people can be jerks and companies can be equally useless to problems

KingKilo310

They were to lazy to make anything of their own so they had to steal art to cover up their inadequacies.

Devon Smith

So a random guy claiming to advocate for Viz Media can use AI to issue a false copyright strike against a video about a computer scrubbing software called 'Bleachbits' because the name contains the word bleach and the video creator has to jump through Youtube's hoops to get it back, but when an actual person tries to copyright strike videos made by AI to rightfully defend their own creation they're the one who has to jump through Youtube's hoops? That's just not right.

Vic Hops Shaquille

Sorry about that, man. Hope you get justice in the end because thievery from someone's work is wrong. Take some time and thank you for the update. Can't wait for the new Logia Brothers tomorrow.

The Foreign Traveler

Sorry that happened Kai. Take your time and I hope this gets resolved.

savitar

Whose legs do we have to break?

James

Damn, that sucks. Do something nice for yourself, whether it's a fun activity, good food, or whatever, something to boost your mood. Don't let some prick ruin your day. Don't let them beat you in even that small way. Wish you the best of luck in dealing with both the AI scourge and YouTube's crappy support.

Boss Redd

This isn't one of the stories I read but I can understand the anger of being stolen from while someone else claims it's theirs (seriously if you like the store so much it inspires you to want to do your own, just do your own don't steal from someone else)

Nuka Man

Wow what an utter loser. Who the Hell thinks it's right to steal others work?!

Jack Stillman

I hope that asshole gets banned from both YouTube and Patreon for this, and sued for both to.

Migo

Sorry this happened kai, hope you feel better. That thieving jerk will get their comeuppance I'm sure

Ryusui23

I can’t wait for logia brothers

Ac3combatL3gend

I'm so sorry to hear this Kai. It's so frustrating seeing A-holes steal ones work, and profit from it. I hope everything gets resolved

QuazarKMax

It sucks that this happened at all. I hope it works out in your favor Kai.

JUSTior97

What's the channel so we can all strike it.

Kairomaru

Oh, great, ANOTHER one stole from me too... It's neverending.

שי פלאי

I some time find those But i only listen to them wean the They include links to the original authors. If not i report them especially if I recognize the story.

Achilles Jackson

Thanks for the update Kairomaru, good suggestion for anger relief if you live somewhere where you have an open field or woods, take a metal baseball bat and start tossing up and swinging at pieces of gravel. From personal experience makes a great noise, both the gravel hitting the bat and then whizzing away.

Sorry that's happened mat take your time

Izaya Yozora

It's always a pain seeing an Ai text-to-speech video use a fanfic without the permission of the author and while still rude at least some have the decency to credit the author they took from unlike this one that copied all the chapters to split into video content without asking or crediting you at all
