Protect authors’ livelihoods from the unlicensed use of their work in AI training
My first novel was on the pirate website used by Meta to train their AI. Although the UK government doesn’t appear to give a toss about protecting authors’ scanty livelihoods in the face of greedy, morality-free big tech, there’s nothing to lose by signing this petition. 🤷♀️ chng.it/9Svmx6NwHK

Excellent article! “It’s hard for publishing people to realise just how opaque our industry can be.”

I’ve just finished these two novels, which I enjoyed immensely. Very well-written and unique perspectives on familiar legends. I’m excited to see what the third will bring (hoping to return to Clytemnestra and the further fall of the house of Atreus).

She's the most scapegoated heroine in Greek mythology, but there's never just one side to any story...

Thank you for your love of history and writing such beautifully flawed characters that remind me time and again why I love reading historical fiction so much!

Every UK national newspaper prints identical front page
Journalists and music industry urge Labour to abandon plan to water down copyright laws for AI firms, amid threat to £126bn creative industries
It’s precarious enough trying to make a living for most creatives. Copyright laws must not be changed in favour of big tech while disadvantaging creatives.

#MakeItFair
The UK Government is consulting on changes that could weaken copyright protections, allowing AI firms to use creative content without permission or payment.
🚨 Tech firms pay for electricity to power AI. why not pay for the content that fuels it?

Pic of news stand at the station: all the papers have a full front page Make It Fair ad.
Impressive! #MakeItFair campaign on the front page of all the nationals today. We need AI companies to ask all creators - incl. translators - for permission to use their work (not the flimsy opt-in proposed by the UK govt.) #MakeItFair #xl8 📚 🎶 🎨
