Safeguarding Your Stories: Navigating content protection in the age of AI

It feels like we’re in the wild west era of copyright theft and infringement at the moment.

In an increasingly AI driven world, smaller publishers face unprecedented challenges in protecting content and authors. The rise of sophisticated Large Language Models and widespread content scraping by the big tech companies presents a significant threat to business models and IP rights.

It can all seem a little overwhelming when you’re just trying to run your business. So what can you do to protect yourself?

The latest event in the Publishers Association Insights Series will delve into the critical considerations for content enforcement and protection. Jack Newton (Head of Content Protection & Enforcement, Publishers Association) and Pippa Watts (Senior Contracts and Anti-Piracy Manager, Scholastic and Co-Chair of the Publishers Association Anti-Piracy Working Group) will explore how publishers can identify and disrupt both physical and digital piracy, understand the methods of consumption and key threats across the publishing sector.

Jack will also provide a demonstration of the Publishers Association Copyright Infringement Portal to give members an idea of how they can report infringements, identify key pirate sites and monitor the Publishers Association's ongoing work in this area.

You will take away actionable insights to help maintain a robust content protection framework and gain a greater awareness of the different approaches to tackling content infringement.
