Over the past two years, a thriving market for licensing copyrighted material to train artificial intelligence systems has emerged. OpenAI was the first to strike deals with publications, like Axel Springer, News Corp. and the Associated Press. A few others in the field followed.
Such agreements weren’t in place when AI firms first started to face litigation accusing them of widespread infringement. Now, lawsuits are increasingly targeting the existence of this licensing market to argue that AI companies are illegally pilfering creators’ works.
Authors, in a proposed class action filed on Monday evening, accused Anthropic of illegally downloading and copying their books to power its AI chatbot Claude. The lawsuit alleges that the Amazon-backed company “usurped a licensing market for copyright owners.”
Without intervention from Congress, the legality of using copyrighted works in training datasets will be decided by the courts. The question will likely be answered in part on fair use,...

Edison Research announces the Top 50 Podcasts in the U.S. based on reach for Q4 2023 among weekly podcast listeners age 13+.
While there was some movement among ranks four through ten in the Top 10, the big story is New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce. New Heights not only broke into the Top 10 in Q4 at #6, but the show skyrocketed straight into the Top 10 from #67 in just one quarter (Q3), having been out of the Top 100 podcasts in the prior quarter (Q2). Edison Podcast Metrics data validated the “Taylor Swift Effect” on New Heights in Q4 of 2023 as the show gained four and a half times the number of listeners, and saw a change in composition to 50% female listeners.

The day Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL, he was caught on what looked like a relatively heated phone call. It’s hard to tell what the sports icon was saying in the clip, but he did seem generally disgruntled by the conversation.
A lip reader took a crack at it, concluding Brady advised that person, whoever they were, to stop calling him. However, he might have also warned them to avoid someone else because, as he possibly said, “She’s hard work.”

Tom Brady won’t be gone from football for long. In 2022, Fox Sports offered the football legend a sportscasting contract set to begin whenever he retires for good. Brady announced his “for good” retirement on February 1 and has now confirmed when he’ll be following through on Fox’s offer. Brady’s sportscasting career will kick off in the fall of 2024, giving the retiree time for some R&r and preparation before this career shift. Brady had signed a deal with Fox Corporation in 2022 that cemented a multi-year deal as Fox Sports’ lead analyst. He need only set the start date. In a Monday, February 6 episode of Colin Cowherd’s Fox Sports Radio show The Herd, Brady announced his intentions to begin in the 2024 NFL season. “Decompression is important,” Brady said, adding that “you’re on this crazy treadmill/hamster wheel loving it at the same time. It’s a daily fight…...

Tom Brady will make his on-air debut for Fox Sports beginning with 2024’s NFL season.
Brady revealed the news Monday during Colin Cowherd’s Fox Sports Radio show The Herd.
Brady, who officially retired from the NFL on Feb. 1 (“for good,” he said), had signed a broadcast deal with Fox Corp. a year ago. The rich, multi-year deal specified that he would join the network’s NFL broadcast booth whenever he decides to retire. Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch added at the time that Brady will “also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives.”
Brady told Cowherd that he would start at Fox in “fall of 2024,” thanking executives at the network for giving him time to find his footing after retiring from the NFL, adding that “decompression is important.” Brady added that he wants to “take some time to really learn, become great at what I want to do,...

“Culling the herd” is something I’ve heard many times, but never gave it much thought until having watched Pat Mills’ latest film, The Retreat. It is used as a reference to animals, but separating or killing “inferior” human beings to reduce their numbers or to rid a group of their “undesirable” traits has been happening for centuries. It’s still happening to minorities around the world. Alyson Richards’ screenplay uses deer as a metaphor for the queer community. As one character recalls her experiences of hunting as a child to “cull the problem deer,” the other character asks, “Were they a problem? The deer?” The response: “Depends on who you ask.” It’s a simple but poignant phrase that reminds the audience that, in this case, homophobia is still ever-present. And while it may often feel safer in big cities surrounded by a larger number of people like you,...

ESPN may be synonymous with sports, but plenty of stars have bailed for Fox Sports lately. Have a look at some the big names.
Chris Broussard
The longtime NBA analyst – who’s gotten some criticism for remarks considered homophobic – joined Fox Sports in 2016, where he’s a regular panelist on “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed” and co-hosts “The Odd Couple” with Rob Parker for Fox Sports radio.
Cris Carter
Carter first joined Fox Sports in 2016 and had hosted “First Things First,” alongside Nick Wright since 2017, but it was a short tenure. He left Fox Sports in late 2019, reportedly after he had an outburst with higher-ups over not being part of the network’s “Thursday Night Football” coverage.
Skip Bayless
The outspoken sports columnist and “First Take” analyst still ranks as ESPN’s highest-profile defection when he bailed in 2016. He co-hosts “Skip and Shannon” with Shannon Sharpe on Fox Sports 1.

With her first thriller, The Lost Night, author Andrea Bartz took us behind the close-knit, closed-door world of circa-2009 Brooklyn, where pretty young things partied in warehouses until the wee hours of the morning - all fun and games, until someone winds up dead. With her sophomore thriller, she leads us inside an equally exclusive but very different community: an elite, all-female coworking space in Manhattan with sun-splashed interiors and creative, ambitious members who would look at home between the pages of a fashion magazine. The workspace's name stretches across the wall behind the check-in desk: The Herd.
Eleanor Walsh, the company's charismatic founder, is queen inside the Herd's plumeria-scented halls, and among her confidants are Hana, a close friend from college, and Hana's sister Katie, a quick-witted journalist who's just returned to New York. When Eleanor suddenly disappears the night of an important event, Hana and Katie must uncover...

Sports networks grappling with widespread cancellations and postponements of not just games but entire seasons used this past week to frenetically prep schedules leaning heavily on new or expanded studio talk shows, rebroadcasts of earlier matchups and library content, if they’re lucky enough to have to have it. Networks and leagues said they’re deep in discussions about rights to air older games and about developing new programming for this coronavirus moment, but just how they’ll be filing airtime is extremely fluid.

The rapid strides taken by auteur Turkish cinema in recent times owes not a little to the daredevil, pioneering spirit of Yilmaz Güney who left a message to succeeding generations that they can achieve great things only if they are prepared to abandon the beaten track and set their sights on challenging summits.
Yilmaz Güney (1937 – 1984)
The seventy-fifth birth anniversary this year of Yilmaz Güney (1937 – 1984), the stormy petrel of modern Turkish cinema, is certain to set the Bosphorus on fire. Güney’s phenomenal many-sided genius made him a force to reckon with when he came to direction after a long stint as Turkey’s most popular film hero. But in the post-Second World War history of the Turkish State and society, Güney occupies a higher place than just that of a trail-blazing film personality. His strong sympathies for the inhabitants of the ‘lower depths’ – a recurring theme in his films – combined...

Ask a random sampling of cinephiles - let's even make a rule that they must be well-researched in and fanatic about European cinema - to name a significant Turkish filmmaker, living or dead, and by far the most common answer will be Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Runners-up will be 2010 Golden Bear-winner Semih Kaplanoğlu and German filmmaker Fatih Akin (he's of Turkish descent), and way down at a very distant fourth place will be a man by the name of Yilmaz Güney. Winner of the 1982 Palme d'Or by proxy for Yol (he was imprisoned during production and gave detailed directions to Şerif Gören, the 'official' director, on how to make the film), Güney is the most influential Turkish filmmaker in the country's history, and, frankly, still probably the greatest of them all (Ceylan may well surpass him, though, especially if he makes any more films on the plane as Once Upon a Time in Anatolia,...
