If you have an account with academia.edu, please read their new terms and conditions in the post below. Scandalous terms. I’ve deleted my account.

More Gothic adjacent than actually Gothic, but if you have an academia.edu account, you may want to delete it. (I just deleted mine). Their new service terms say they own and can sell anything you post there.

Tomorrow the Society of Authors asks for a social media blitz if your work is in LibGen, pirated material used by Meta for its AI models. Check if your material is on LibGen via the Atlantic magazine. I’ve just checked the database and I’m horrified how much of my work appears on LibGen.
