(hereafter ”The Rightsholders”) The non-profit organisation Danish Rights Alliance has been appointed to enforce the copyrights of The Rightsholders. It has come to our attention that infringing copies of The Rightsholders' works are being hosted and made available on your platform. The "Books3" dataset, which contains approximately 200.000 illegal e-books including the books belonging to the Rightsholders and listed in the attached overview, has once again appeared on your platform this time here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/boyiwei/Books3. We have downloaded the JSON-files, and located infringing copies of the Rightsholders works. Attached you will find a screenshot, showing that works from the Rightsholders are still illegally contained in the dataset. Making copyright protected literary works available to the public in Denmark constitutes a communication to the public, which requires the express consent from the appropriate rights holders to be legal. Please note that the above mentioned rights holders have not given their consent to the making available of their copyright protected content on your platform. This e-mail serves as information to you about the above mentioned infringements and I request that you take all the necessary steps in order to immediately stop the infringements including removing the infringing copies from your platform. Additionally, we request that you take steps to prevent future uploads of Books3 to your platform. |
