An AI company used a bunch of our books to “train” their AI without our permission, so they’re having to pay us a little money for each of the titles. Still filling out the form. Some of my rights have been reverted to me, some are listed as publishers but they’re publishing platforms, not publishers, so they shouldn’t get any money for it, some are solely mine–yay for indie publishing! And some I have to share with publishers. But then also lawyers. So I don’t expect much back. Though apparently they’ve made billions off our titles.
At least we might get a little compensation, which I hadn’t expected at all. The little guy doesn’t usually get anything. I really thought it wasn’t for real when I first heard about it.
Well, I’m happily at 30K on the word count for Cougar Christmas Catastrophe. Still trying to figure out a satisfying ending that’s different from all my other books.
Hope your day is blissful!
