CW: AI, LLM, Anthropic Copyright Infringement
Apparently #Anthropic has been ordered to pay ca. $1.5 billion for #copyright #infringement on about 500K #books they used to train #Claude along with the order to destroy any #unauthorized copies & #pirated files they possess:
Considering the amount of money they stand to make from Claude's continued existence, this seems like little more than a slap on the wrist to me. Also, I find it hard to believe how it will be possible to enforce the order to destroy the illicit files.

"Trust and Integrity: A Research Imperative." A joint statement from the Association of Research Libraries (#ARL), International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers (#STM), Association of College and Research Libraries (#ACRL), Society for Scholarly Publishing (#SSP), and Association of University Presses (#AUPresses).
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/07/09/trust-and-integrity-a-research-imperative/(Yes, it's rare to see #libraries and #publishers issue joint statements.)
"This year has brought unprecedented challenges to the U.S. research enterprise – sweeping federal funding cuts, capricious reductions in the federal workforce, and destabilizing attacks on universities, laboratories, and federal research agencies…In response to these challenges, we believe in and support: Public investment in basic science and the humanities…The need for broad access to validated, trusted information…Protecting and advancing freedom of speech…and ensuring research and scholarship remain free from political interference."

Big publishing houses often buy out small, independent publishers, just to push them (and their books) into oblivion! The #internetArchive was helping to keep those books from being lost to history!
The End of Progressive Book Publishing in the Age of Monopoly Capital?
Tom Engelhardt 09/28/2022
"After all, like Pantheon, at the moment of its demise, it was a lively, deeply progressive operation, churning out powerful new titles — until, that is, it was essentially shut down when Sara, a miraculous publisher like André, was shown the door along with her staff. Bam! What did it matter that, thanks to her, Metropolitan still occupied a space filled by no other house in mainstream publishing? Nothing obviously, not to Holt, or assumedly Macmillan, the giant American publishing conglomerate of which it was a part, or the German Holtzbrinck Publishing Group that owns Macmillan.
"How strange that we’re in a world where two such publishing houses, among the best and most politically challenging around, could find that there simply was no place for them as progressive publishers in the mainstream. André [Schiffrin], who died in 2013, responded by launching an independent publishing house, #TheNewPress, an admirable undertaking. In terms of the #DispatchBooks I still put out from time to time, I find myself in a similar world, dealing with another adventurous independent publishing outfit, #HaymarketBooks.
"Still, what an eerie mainstream we now inhabit, don’t we?
"I mean, when it comes to what capitalism is doing on this planet of ours, book publishing is distinctly small (even if increasingly mashed) potatoes. After all, we’re talking about a world where giant fossil-fuel companies with still-soaring profits are all too willing to gaslight the public while quite literally burning the place up — or perhaps I mean flooding the place out. (Don’t you wonder sometimes what the CEOs of such companies are going to tell their grandchildren?)."

Hold the presses: Feds say #publishing merger would create #monopoly
by Alexandra Jones / November 2, 2021
"The Department of Justice went to court Tuesday to stop the creation of one large book publisher, 'towering over its rivals,' that would result if Penguin Random House is allowed to merge with Simon and Schuster.
"Just five major publishers control the U.S. publishing industry today, and each regularly offers authors high advances and extensive marketing, as well as editorial support, to create best-selling books. While smaller publishers occasionally sign anticipated top sellers, they often can’t shoulder high author advances required and face greater financial turbulence when such books that don't sell as expected.
"The merger was arranged by the publishing groups’ parent companies last year when Penguin Random House’s owner, German media group Bertelsmann, agreed to buy Simon and Schuster from ViacomCBS. The acquisition would give Penguin Random House access to a barrage of Simon and Schuster’s bestselling authors, such as Stephen King and Bob Woodward, as well as classic titles like 'The Great Gatsby' and 'Fahrenheit 451.'
"'If the world’s largest book publisher is permitted to acquire one of its biggest rivals, it will have unprecedented control over this important industry,' Garland said in a press release rolled out alongside the complaint. 'American authors and consumers will pay the price of this anticompetitive merger – lower advances for authors and ultimately fewer books and less variety for consumers.'"

Update about the court decision regarding the #InternetArchive
March 25, 2023 by chrisfreeland
"Today’s lower court decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive is a blow to all libraries and the communities we serve. This decision impacts libraries across the US who rely on controlled digital lending to connect their patrons with books online. It hurts authors by saying that unfair licensing models are the only way their books can be read online. And it holds back access to information in the digital age, harming all readers, everywhere.
"But it’s not over—we will keep fighting for the traditional right of libraries to own, lend, and preserve books. We will be appealing the judgment and encourage everyone to come together as a community to support libraries against this attack by corporate publishers.
"We will continue our work as a library. This case does not challenge many of the services we provide with digitized books including interlibrary loan, citation linking, access for the print-disabled, text and data mining, purchasing ebooks, and ongoing donation and preservation of books."

#ResearchPaper #scientificpublication #publishers At some point we will have to talk, seriously, about all those papers published by invitation, special issues, and all the rest, whose messages are constantly flooding our incoming folders. Sooner or later we will end up coauthoring one or few of them. But, IMHO, we should be very careful about founding a scientific career on them. You might be caught by surprise if a given assessing committee does not value them as you might have expected.
