So there's a BIG hoo-ha about Teenfic.net (a mirroring site) that has copied alot of our work, which technically, imo, isn't that serious in itself, but it does breach our copyright rules. Go ahead and search your username on there. Chances are, you'll find your stories have been mirrored too.
          
          Tbh, I laughed out loud when I realised they even bothered mirroring my review book. Like, of all things??? 
          
          I'm not devastated. If it ever came down to proving ownership of my writing, I have A LOT of physical notes, outlines, editing histories and random plot vomit that these bots obviously don't have. I'm pretty comfortable proving that my work is mine.
          
          And frankly, none of this is particularly surprising. Once you put your work on the internet, it's out there. You can protect your copyright, you can put notices everywhere, you can take precautions, but there will always be disgusting humans lurking around looking for ways to covet what isn't theirs.
          
          That doesn't make it acceptable.
          
          Personally, I'm not particularly motivated to start firing off DMCAs right now because, from what I can see, they're just mirroring the stories and engagement rather than pretending to be the original authors.
          
          For now. 
          
          Do with this information as you will. Check whether your work is there, decide how comfortable you are with it, and take whatever proper steps you feel are necessary to protect your writing. It's your work. You get to decide what you're willing to tolerate.
          
          This is me saying I DID NOT PUT MY STORIES ON ANY OTHER WRITING PLATFORMS EXCEPT FOR WATTPAD AND INKITT. That's it. OK stay safe everyone!

@eleeyjs There are instances that a virus can be downloaded as soon as the site is entered. But I'm sure as long as the system is updated and protected, it can bounce back. Some people don't have that kind of firewall up though, so I'm trying to spread the word to not go in the site because if an unfortunate someone gets a malware or something, we're letting these people win. I imagine them rubbing their hands saying, "Look alive. We got traffic coming in. Man your stations."

@HeideReynes I have paid anti-virus and so far, no malware detected even when I roamed for a little bit. I believe as long as you don't click on any of the ads or pop-ups but of course, anything could happen.

@eleeyjs Hey. Teenfic, like you said, is a mirror site. Exactly everything on Wattpad is on there. And whatever happens on Wattpad also happens there, any story edits and if you delete your story here, it's also deleted there. The thing about mirror sites is they are more used for phishing. So, I'd advice not to go into the site because it'll likely have malwares and viruses. You might want to run a virus scan to be sure you didn't catch any. This Teenfic has been here for years. There was an original teenfic site. I think I read it was a .com, and Wattpad has won in taking it down but this .net came up again. So, it's really like a weed that's hard to kill. But yeah, don't go into that site.
