this looks exciting – set in Victorian North Yorkshire, this gothic horror follows a young Māori woman fighting to reclaim her identity and connect with her whakapapa and culture while living in a foreign land.

this is parasitical bullshit is being tried here in Oz – landlords wanting to claim ownership of their tenants' IP – another reason to read your lease carefully

#scriptsky #art #writing #music #design #recording #software #discovery #invention #photography #soul
image showing the original poster’s handle: Purplepingers and their comment which reads: Somehow not the most insane term I’ve seen in a residential lease this followed by terms which reads: Additional Terms IP Assignment by Tenant l. The Tenant agrees that a11y intellectual property, moral rights, copyright design rights, trade secrets or proprietary information of any kind (including but not limited to inventions, discoveries designs, processes, improvements, works of authorship, software, data, photographs, recordings, artwork, ideas or other creative or inventive output) which are conceived, created, developed or reduced to practice by the Tenant alone or with others, during the tenancy and in relation to the residential premises (or using the landlord’s materials, tools, facilities or resources) (hereafter “Works”) shall immediately upon creation be the sole and exclusive property of the Landlord. 2. The Tenant hereby assigns to the Landlord all right, title, and interest in and to the Works (including all intellectual property rights therein) without further consideration. 3. The Tenant waives (to the extent legally possible) any moral rights in respect of the Works in favour of the Landlord. 4. The Tenant agrees to execute all documents, do all acts and things reasonably necessary (at the Landlord's expense) to give effect to this clause, including any registration of any rights or filing of any applications required to perfect the Landlord's ownership. 5. This clause survives the termination or expiration of the tenancy agreement with respect to any Works created during the tenancy.

Just did this. Very easy to leave a comment.
Feedback form from ABC in which I typed the comment (about their cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live): "Appalled that you are capitulating to censorship and state control of independent media. You had a chance to be on the right side of history but you chose fascism."

here in Oz, one of the big four banks in our finance oligopoly has had to rethink their genAI strategy ... 🤪
newspaper page from the 'Financial Review' overlaid on an image of a Commonwealth Bank storefront headline reads: C.B.A. U-turns on A.I. job cuts, calls back humans further copy reads: CBA replaced 45 call centre jobs with an AI voicebot, but admitted it increased call volumes and forced the bank to scramble staff to cover. "CBA has been caught out trying to dress up job cuts as innovation. Using AI as a cover for slashing secure jobs in a cynical cost-cutting exercise, and workers know it."

Gonna follow my own advice and ask for something I feel like I’ve laid the groundwork for.

If like these #Scriptsky #Screenwriting threads I do, give them a repost.

I’m trying to get a book about working in TV published and I’ve been told I need “a bigger platform.” Hopefully these 🧵s can help.

white text over a still from *Jurassic Park* showing the famous shot of Jeff Goldblum with his shirt open – the text is a reworking Dr. Ian Malcolm’s quote from the movie and reads: “Yeah, gen A. I. Your techbros were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
