News Summary: First BookTok Bestseller List Dominated by Romance; Publishers Sue Meta over AI Training

A few interesting pieces of news with which to end the week. The one I found most interesting is the long-anticipated release of the first (UK for now, following a trial in Germany) BookTok Bestseller list. In a shocking turn of events that no one could have foreseen, seventeen of the top twenty titles are romance and romantasy, with the likes of Rebecca Yarros, Chloe Walsh, and Sarah J. Maas dominating. It is also no surprise to see the ur-text of dark academia, Donna Tartt's The Secret History, standing proud in the chart.

Yes, this is theft.

The good news (for artists) is that the liability can’t be washed away by running it through a software tool (a separate issue), and the artist can sue the person who published this.

Don’t be the person that publishes another’s work without authorization, not only because it’s a violation of the rights of the artist, and a breach of law, but because it’s wrong.
