Publishers demand protection of copyright against AI and fixed book prices

The Federation of Publishers' Guilds of Spain has presented a ten-point code to protect intellectual property rights in the context of training artificial intelligence models. It calls for an agreement that regulates the use of copyrighted works, preventing the non-consensual exploitation of editorial creativity. This stance is crucial for open data, as it establishes a regulatory precedent for how textual data can be used to train algorithmic systems, demanding transparency and fair compensation. The fixed book price is defended, along with support for small publishers and bookstores, to preserve bibliodiversity. By ensuring the economic viability of all links in the publishing chain, the survival of a diverse editorial offering is guaranteed against piracy and market concentration. This ensures that written culture is not dominated solely by large commercial operators. The sector seeks to integrate reading promotion policies in schools and to support libraries. The relevance to open data lies in the fact that a robust publishing industry generates large volumes of open and accessible data. If these tools protect rights, they will enable an ethical and sustainable flow of information, benefiting both research and public access to knowledge without compromising the integrity of creators.
