From: ASSTR Administration <admin@asstr.org>Date: Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 8:22 AM Subject: [ASSTR-Authors] URGENT - PLAGIARISM / COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ALERT (fwd) To: asstr-authors@asstr.org We are forwarding this message on to our authors as a courtesy to all of you. - Rey del Sexo ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 16:39:37 -0800 From: Alex Severin <alex@alexseverin.com> To: info@literotica.com, copyright@asstr.org Cc: alex@alexseverin.com, massacrepubl@aol.com Subject: URGENT - PLAGIARISM / COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ALERT Wednesday, 29th December 2010 Dear Literotica & ASSTR, I would be much obliged if you would send out the following letter via your forums, newsletters and social networks. Please post it anywhere and everywhere you deem appropriate. I have discovered a massive case of plagiarism involving both your websites and many of your writers. Their work has been plagiarized and copyright infringed, and is being published in Kindle format and sold on Amazon.com. (There were paperbacks and e-books being published by LuLu.com also, but their Copyright Agent was fantastic – he deleted the thief's entire catalog, not just the book I sent him a DMCA notice about.) If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to contact me at the e-mail address below. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerest regards... Alex Severin – Writer www.AlexSeverin.com * * * * * * * * * * * Dear Writers, My name is Alex Severin. I'm a writer. I've come across a Literary Kleptomaniac on the internet variously named as - Rebecca Geissler Rebekah Geissler Becky Geissler Rebecca Bick Rebekah Bick Ana Phylaxis M. Ana Phylaxis Mistress Ana Phylaxis BizarreBettyXXX (she claims this is her publishing house.) Byronee (this is actually a character from one of the stolen stories below.) She steals stories (erotica, mind control, fetish and erotic horror,) puts them in book form and sells them on Amazon. So far, there are 7 books. Every story is plagiarized and copyright infringed. I already had her store on LuLu.com shut down. She was using them to POD paperbacks and selling them at nearly $21 a pop. If you have work on Literotica.com or ASSTR.org, please read through the list below and look for your name. If you don't see your name, I'm sure you will recognize plenty of other names listed. Please pass on this info to your fellow writers, post it on your blog, your social network sites etc. She has looted both Literotica and ASSTR. She stole 8 of my stories from my own website and a very old e-zine my work is in. Five of those she put into books. The other 3 she was earning per-1000-clicks payments via Yahoo! Associated Content. I sent DMCA notices to Amazon.com regarding the two books my stories were in and they have have since been deleted from the site, so, if your story was in NECROLUST : IN THE FLESH or NECROPOLIS you don't need to take any action. 13 WOMEN has also been deleted after 'Phineas' whose story YAMARA was stolen from Literotica, sent Amazon a DMCA notice. Currently, four books remain available. If your story/stories is/are in any of the other four books, I would recommend sending Amazon a DMCA notice. If you don't know how to do this, click on the link below, copy and paste the DMCA form and just fill in all the areas that contain UPPER CASE INSTRUCTIONS, like so, with your own details. http://www.alexseverin.com/Blank-DMCA-Notice.txt And send it to Amazon.com's Copyright & Trademark Agent at copyright@amazon.com Use DMCA NOTICE - COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT as your e-mail subject line. Any questions you might have or further help you may need with the DMCA notice, don't hesitate to contact me at Alex@NOSPAMAlexSeverin.com (Remove NOSPAM before sending e-mail, of course.) I've listed the plagiarized and copyright infringed stories and writers, book by book. It's a long list. I've linked to all the Amazon buy pages that remain (of course, a few of them are gone now but I've uploaded a few screen-shots.) Also, since Facebook doesn't seem to care that she is linking to buy illegal content (a contravention of their own Rights and Responsibilities for users,) feel free to send a note to Facebook requesting they shut down her 'fan' group. Just let them know that she's linking to illegal content in the form of copyright infringed / plagiarized stories and offering them for sale via her group page. I sent her a Cease & Desist Order, since she clearly wasn't going to stop and kept releasing books even after I had started taking her down, (including stealing more on my stories!) She closed her 'fan' page on Facebook and locked down her 'fan' group. She's now claiming 'her' stories have been 'stolen' and that she is working with the FBI on the matter. Just as an aside, I wouldn't recommend interacting with her. She informed me I was affecting her PTSD, she is poor and innocent and that I am actually victimizing HER. She told me she has no money and that legal action against her will cost me more than it will her. I felt obliged to inform her when I mentioned 'legal action' that she misunderstood – I am not suing her personally – I am seeking her prosecution. I never heard back from her after that. This is the URL of her Facebook group - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_113466835387435 She also has another facebook page, 'Facebook.com/Becky.Geissler' (This is also her, but she claims it is her 'slave.' The display names she uses on her group are 'Mistress Ana Phylaxis' and 'Anaphylactic Shock.' This person has made money off all of us – perhaps not a fortune, but enough that she continues to do it even after she has been caught. The reason I'm sending this to the individual websites involved is this – I contacted all the writers in the first three books and only received one responses out of a dozen writers. Many of these stories have been online for ten years or more and some of the accounts haven't been modified for many years. I thought my best bet was to try and get the two main sites on board to send out this letter via their own newsletters, forums and social networks. Also, anybody reading this please feel free to disseminate it, or the information within, anywhere you deem appropriate. I would like this plagiarist publicly exposed. I got a call on 21st December from the Copyright and Trademark Agent at Amazon, Adrian Garver and it would appear Mistress Ana Phylaxis is going to try and challenge my DMCA notices. She informed Mr. Garver that she started writing the book in 1993 and first published it in 1997. She didn't actually say which book she was talking about. Here's the book and story list...

DemonGoddess Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 No luck on getting any email information. Next step is to search the db for titles, directly
DemonGoddess Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 None of those titles exist here.
DemonGoddess Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 Okay all, I researched this person for this site, and she is not here. However, given where the email was generated FROM (asstr), I felt it a good idea to pass this along so you can search your respective archives.
DemonGoddess Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 What I would suggest next, is that any user who posts to originals, please check her story listings to make sure she's not stolen from you.
