British Authors Protest AI Training With Book

Around 10,000 British authors, including Kazuo Ishiguro and Malorie Blackman, put only their names into Don't Steal This Book to protest AI firms training models on copyrighted writing. Organizers are handing out 1,000 copies at the London Book Fair days before the UK government delivers an economic impact assessment on proposed copyright changes, and the campaign cites publishers' licensing moves and global lawsuits. The protest references major settlements, including Anthropic's reported $1.5 billion payout.
