Harper Collins did not sign.

So weird how being owned by Rupert Murdoch means they can't even advocate for their own survival. Libraries are a HUGE part of all publishers' bottom lines.

If you can't speak out bc it's right, speak out bc otherwise this destroys your bottom line ffs

This is so encouraging from a 'watch from across the pond' pov. We haven't seen any great level of dissent until now. Which tbh was astonishing.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

I can't make it to London for the protest but as one of the many authors whose work was STOLEN, I absolutely support what the Society of Authors is doing today.

We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems.

As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting.

But what can authors do? Read here:

For people who aren't authors, all the fuss around this META thing may look like an overreaction. We have to learn to live with AI. That's one of the arguments, I see. Alongside ones about fair use, which is a whole other subject. But I have thoughts...

Still no Internet at home three weeks after the storm. It was a nice detox the first week. Now I'd just like to CHOOSE a detox rather than one being forced on me.

I know I said I wanted more writing time but this is a bit of an extreme manifestation wise.

Just saying, universe.
