Sarah J. Maas Inks Multiyear, Worldwide Deal with IMG Licensing (Exclusive) - The Hollywood Reporter

Will she be as rich as J.K. Rowling?

Panzer stopped in at the The Hollywood Reporter site today. 

 

There our inquisitive kitty boy found a post by Lily Ford about romantasy author Sarah J. Maas. The post has a list of the items included in the licensing agreement the author signed with IMG.

 

Panzer says, "This little kitty would like to know if IMG came to her or if she went to them."

 

Note: This is a short medium length post. A cup of tea should be enough for today's snack.

US: AAP Announces Support for AI-Certification Nonprofit - Publishing Perspectives

How many AI providers will apply for certification?

Today, Panzer decided it was time for a quick trip to the Publishing Perspectives site. He's really glad he stopped in there because he found a post about certification for AI companies.

Porter Anderson's post explains about the company Fairly Trained's certification program for AI providers. On a basic level the providers must have obtained a license for the material used to train the AI. In that way there is no copyright infringement involved. The post includes links to other information.

Panzer says, "The post does say none of the big AI providers have applied for certification yet."

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin for today's reading.

Amazon-owned Audible sued by major book publishers over controversial text-to-speech feaure - GeekWire

Panzer was fueling up the Panzermobile when the radio started crackling and squealing. Adjusting the channel, our careful kitty pilot discovered the GeekWire site was causing all the noise. Traveling over to the site, he found a post about Audible's new Captions feature. Panzer has posted about the Captions feature several times over the last few days.

Is Captions worth the hype?

According to the post by Nat Levy, Amazon's Audible is being sued by seven major book publishers. The publishers are suing for copyright infringement. The lawsuit claims Audible's new Captions feature is not part of Audible's licensing agreement with the publishers.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This little kitty wonders if anybody at Audible did read the license agreement."

Note: This is a short post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to read Panzer's most recent previous post about Captions (which contains links to four other posts), bring two gallons of tea and three dozen muffins.
