#AmWriting

About this episode

Social media is all aflutter over an article by Alex Reisner in The Atlantic: The Unbelievable Scale of A.I.’s Pirated Books Problem. In this episode, Jess and Sarina cover the news and its ramifications for authors.

You won’t want to miss this discussion about the lawsuits against Meta and OpenAI. We discuss problems and remedies, and the formation of legal markets for A.I. training. Like the work by HarperCollins on a paid licensing deal

We also discuss the root cause: ebook piracy, and author reactions. Including this heartfelt one from author Julia Sykes.



Sarina has also written more about piracy, and how to move toward a world where it’s not as prevalent
