A site called http://www.ebooks-tree.com is scraping fic from AO3 and attempting to sell it.
Here is some information on how to file a DMCA complaint asking them to take down your content.
It really must be bot-scraping. They have nine of my works -- one of which is a fanmix, most of which are thoroughly unpopular, and they miss the most popular of mine entirely.
I sent them a DMCA complaint; we'll see what happens.
ETA2: They're also apparently scraping free pdf/mobi from author websites. (When I looked, I found several of Courtney Milan's free samples there, too.)
ETA: Though I do wonder how much of their traffic today will be AO3 authors coming by the check and send them DMCA complaints.
