Plagiarism Update

I just cannot BELIEVE the depth of this woman’s deceit.  I came across an old cached page of M. Ana Phylaxis’ on LuLu.  One of  her “copyright” notification dates is from 1997 for Necropolis, 2ND EDITION.  Which begs the question of exactly HOW LONG has this woman been going around plagiarizing authors who were nice enough to post their stories and ideas, FOR FREE, online only for her to come along and blatantly STEAL THEM from said authors.  To top it all off, these authors have not made one single cent off of their stories.  Yet here comes this lunatic who not only steals their hard work and creativity, but then SELLS the stolen property.

Finding this “copyright” notice page from one of her books that dates back 14 years makes me wonder exactly how long she has been stealing other writers’ works.  How many pseudonyms has she used over the last 20-odd years of her life?  How much money has she made off of the stolen imagination of other authors?

Perhaps a better question is WHY is Amazon still hosting 3 of her stolen works?  They were TOLD by several plagiarized authors that ALL of this woman’s books they were hosting were plagiarized.  Yet still 3 of them sit on the website, still making money for the thief.  Is Amazon not also liable for not only hosting but also MAKING A PROFIT off of these stolen works?  Are they not just as slimy as Rebecca, Becky, Rebekah Geissler/Bick / M. Ana Phylaxis/ Mistress Ana Phylaxis for making money off of stolen property?  Had the item in question been a television set, both the original thief and the middle man would have been thrown in jail.  What gives?

Here’s another interesting tidbit of information I have managed to dig up.  First, she’s listed on LinkedIn as Rebekah Geissler.  You can see that whole giant lie of a profile here:  http://www.linkedin.com/pub/rebekah-geissler/28/336/417

Second, she has also used the pseudonym of R. T. Geissler to pawn off at least one book through LuLu.  It was on hypnotherapy.  I wonder if it was plagiarized too?  Thankfully LuLu yanked her entire catalog thanks to Alex Severin’s quick thinking and actions.

I will continue to dig up as much information on this plagiarizer as possible.  Information is power, and right now we need all the power we can get to have this woman put out of business and hopefully prosecuted as well.

Plagiarism Alert

I must apologize to my fans and readers for what I am being forced to do.  It has recently come to my attention that a woman has been going around adult literature sites, blatantly ripping off other author’s stories and using a POD service to sell copies of these stolen stories in book form.  Right now all of this is under investigation.  I personally do not have any stories on the sites in question, but she has not only ripped off stories from these adult sites but also from some of the author’s own personal websites. 

Due to this ongoing investigation of the dozens of writers whose copyrights have been infringed upon by this person, I am taking down all of my stories which have not already been put into publication.  I am extremely sorry for this, but until this woman is put out of business and behind bars then I do not trust having my work sitting around waiting for someone to rip off the work that I have spent years and years on.

Below is the e-mail that I was given privy to.  I am republishing with the original writer’s permission in hopes that this woman will be shut down permanently.

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

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…

Title : NECROLUST : IN THE FLESH [I sent a DMCA notice regarding this book
and it has now been deleted from the Amazon catalog.]
