Couldn't help but have a bit of a play with our contract template earlier anyway, just to make it super clear that we do not condone the use of any contributor's works to train AI.

By "just after Hallowe'en" I mean tomorrow onwards, had to have a quiet weekend due to a very tiring Friday.

Thanks again for bearing with us, there is still a bit of uncertainty in the background, but not enough to stop us getting this damn book out at last!

Fantastic! Congratulations!

HV and me crossed path on my first publication EVER! Monstroddities by @sliceduppress.bsky.social edited by @bensnotwriting.bsky.social

Within which you can find The Loneliness of Malabron and HV's poem Mother:Microbe

Europe works kind of like the UK as well, see:

This isn't an exhaustive list and you might want to use different links, but we hope this is useful for anyone concerned about protecting their works from genAI and theft in general.

If you're in the USA or elsewhere, you may want to register your copyrighted work to gain extra protections (like joining class lawsuits). You can find info on how to register your work in the USA here:

OK, it's going to be more like middle of October now until we can say for sure what'll happen with Saturday Mourning TV. There was some semi-good news today, but now it's back to waiting.

We're not 100% out of the woods yet but there is light at the end of the tunnel!

also don't mix your metaphors kids
