Because the fic's author chose to take it down for a reason. You storing a copy on your personal hard drive for your use is fine, but putting it back up on the Archive's servers under your name, even hidden and anonymised, is deliberately circumventing their choices about their fic for - what? Marginal convenience.

They chose to share, they gave up their story privileges when that happened. The most they can do is choose to no longer share on their own account. AO3 is fundamentally committed to the right of people to share in stories, and not have original writers be the sole authority on public story telling. We have lawyers fighting for exactly that. That ethos applies all the way to the top, and all the way to the bottom. Whether you are JK Rowling or the lowest Harry Potter drabble writer, you shared, we own. You can withdraw your participation, but not your cultural contributions.

Bullshit.

AO3 itself is the biggest advocate for authors's ownership over their own work. Whenever they archive previous or resurrected fic collections or archives, they make it crystal clear that any author of any fic within that collection can choose not to allow their fic to be archived, or have said fic removed from the archive.

AO3 is fundamentally committed to the right of people to share in stories, and not have original writers be the sole authority on public story telling. We have lawyers fighting for exactly that.

Using your JKR example, try uploading any one of the Harry Potter novels, word-for-word, and see what happens.

We have permission to use the WORLDS others have created. We do not have permission to reproduce their works word for word. We explicitly DO NOT have permission to do that.

Are you, by any chance, cameolove?

Whodat?

Serial reporter of books and fic.

You chose to go out in public, you gave up your body privileges when that happened. You shared, we own. We have the right to take and post any images or video of you that we want, anywhere that we want. We have the right to do whatever we want to you, because you stepped outside. Someone wants to club you in the head like a baby seal? They have the right to do that, now.

Stop being fucking wrong.

By this logic, you can be raped because you were intimate with your partner once.
