Is your book on the LibGen list? Let us know.

Meta considered licensing books to train AI—but opted instead to pirate LibGen, a database that currently contains more than 7.5 million books and 81 million research papers, Alex Reisner writes.

Maybe we should all start putting mild swears in our titles.
(2 of my long ago book reviews are listed in the database.)

One search (the most common version of my name) stopped at 200 found and said “there may be more.” It would be nice to know which of my other 65 books were also used.

Thank you for looking into this.
And I’m furious 😤
I really hope that Lithuanian translation of mine is totally messing up something in the works. Really gumming it up.
What can we do???
Not sure what we can do in this case.
My stuff comes up on the Atlantic article search thing but not when you go to the LibGen site(s).
Are things removed?
Am I in the right place?
If we can't see it, can we call them on it?
UGH!
