Funny how the tech broligarchs (and their enablers) keep claiming they can’t afford to pay creators for the work they’ve so brazenly filched from all of us… #MetaBookThieves #DoTheWriteThing

If you are a @societyofauthors.bsky.social member (like I am), and you were there to post about #MetaBookThieves (as I was), and you want to #MakeItFair and make Meta #DoTheWriteThing (as I absolutely do), give giovanh's essay a read.
Listen to the latest Advisory Clinic’s podcast ‘Artificially Intelligent' which discusses the latest on collective licencing and the recent parliamentary debate.

"UK copyright law is clear: if someone uses your work without permission, it’s infringement."
Thank you to @jamestfrith.bsky.social M.P. for calling for this debate, and raising the serious issues around the use of pirated works to train AI.

Meta stole my work and the work of my colleagues. Rulebooks like Star Trek Adventures + Fallout RPG were scraped by LibGen and Meta trained its AI model on them. #MetaBookThieves #DoTheWriteThing #MakeItFair
I think all of the authors should demand free ads from Meta since they decided to steal our work. Why should we pay them for anything since it’s cool to just take what you want? #metabookthieves #dothewritething
#DoTheWriteThing poster for the Society Of Authors campaign, showing authors protesting against the theft of their work by Meta AI
I was horrified to find EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY BOOKS had been plundered without my consent by the Meta AI book thieves. It's a violation & is wrong in every way. Please support us by signing this @societyofauthors.bsky.social petition and get them to #DoTheWriteThing!

To my astonishment, one of my #books has also been used to train #Facebook’s AI plagiarism “model”, so even those of us at the bottom of the food chain are not spared from #tech billionaire avarice. 🙄
