AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Book Trade: Sally Rooney’s publisher is withdrawing her books from UK sale to avoid prosecution risk tied to her support for Palestine Action. Sales have risen in Northern Ireland, where the titles remain available. AI and Copyright: Korean publishers are demanding consent and payment before books are used to train AI. Reports say Anthropic downloaded Korean works, including books by Nobel laureate Han Kang; a separate $1.5 billion settlement over pirated books highlights the growing legal stakes. Publishing Business: Condé Nast UK profits fell by more than a third as its planned sale was scrapped, while German bookseller Thalia reported €2.3 billion in sales.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result. Feedback is welcome. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about the AGP Executive Report.
