New on the blog: Oxford University Press is going all-in on surveillance capitalism https://ideophone.org/oxford-university-press-is-going-all-in-on-surveillance-capitalism/

In which I show that OUP doesn't trust authors with offprints of their own publicly funded work & thinks scholarly exchange is piracy while at the same time selling out to AI slop producer OpenAI #academicchatter #OxfordUniversityPress #OUP #academicwriting

Piracy: primarily our concern is that if an author uploads it to their own website or to a university repository (as a great many people do, and which in all honesty we don’t really object to per se, though it is contractually disallowed), it’s then easily downloaded by any number of people and made widely available – and that is the issue.
