SketchCow |
Oh, it is glorious. |

14:24
🔗
|
SketchCow |
So I'm watching as someone is adding a "review" to every single magazine issue. |
|
14:25
🔗
|
SketchCow |
And the review is in angry, angry french. |
|
14:25
🔗
|
dnova |
haha |
|
14:25
🔗
|
dnova |
do they have ads on their site? |

SketchCow |
And it says "This has come from abandonware-magazines.fr (or whatever) and you have stolen it. Please remove it." |

gotta get those ad impressions |

SketchCow |
Nothing. |
|
14:30
🔗
|
dnova |
well, yeah, but what problem do THEY perceive? |
|
14:30
🔗
|
SketchCow |
There's a guy who runs the site, named Fred. |
|
14:30
🔗
|
SketchCow |
He has all the cute "just doing this for the good of humanity" thing. |
|
14:30
🔗
|
SketchCow |
I am not convinced the person doing these reviews is Fred. |
|
14:31
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Which means someone is trying to "help". |
|
14:31
🔗
|
SketchCow |
It's no big deal, just sad someone's spending a lot of time doing copy-paste angry reviews. |
|
14:31

SketchCow |
Then he found out I kept the textfile inside each and every .zip with full credit. |

His concern then went to lack of prominent credit. |

Obviously, I'll write a quick routine to go through all of the current and future issues and ensure a default description of "Digitization work by abandonware-magazines.org" or some such. |

I am sure that it is absolutely trivial to say "delete every review by this one account." |
