UK's Society of Authors: More Clarity in Spotify Terms - Publishing Perspectives

It just keeps spreading.

Today Panzer made a stop at the Publishing Perspectives site. There he found a post about Findaway Voices and Spotify's Terms of Use. Your favorite traveling kitty told you about the Findaway Voices and Spotify Terms of Use (TOU) upset explained in the Writer Beware (R) post on Tuesday.

 

Porter Anderson's Publishing Perspectives post explains the UK's Society of Authors take on that same Terms of Use. Specifically, the Society wants more clarity and assurance about AI training and also that authors' work won't be used without permission. The post includes the Society's itemized list of what needs to be clarified and or agreed to.

 

Panzer says, "This little kitty thinks this AI training use of writers work without permission is starting to sound like the Internet Archive lawsuit. You know how that ended."

Note: This is a long-medium length post. Bring a glass of milk and a piece of apple pie for today's snack.
