@PeerCommunityIn calls for transparency, clarity, and respect for authors’ rights! The recent #cOAlitionS_OA blog post by Sally Rumsey on Springer Nature's OA policy raises concerns about conflicting statements and limitations on publication options. https://www.coalition-s.org/blog/springer-nature-doublespeak/
Let’s prioritize open scholarship and uphold authors’ rights retention. #OpenAccess #AuthorRights! The post also highlights Edinburgh Uni's commendable response to SN's infringement on authors' rights!! #ScholarlyPublishing

In what countries do the government compensate authors for library loans of their books and what are your schemes called?

Great news out of Australia today that Australian authors who have enjoyed a lending right system (PLR & ELR) for print books for years (ie: we get paid per loan to compensate us for the book sale), will now also be compensated for ebook and audiobook loans (DLR)! Great comments from new government Arts minister about the importance of the arts too after years of neglect.

Thanks to the Australian Society of Authors (ASA) for so much advocacy on this issue.

#Mastodon currently removes all #Metadata from Pictures. This is enforced, you hae no choice to keep intentionally embedded data such as #AuthorInformation or #License type.

From a #photograpers viewpoint, I consider this enforced incapacitation of my #AuthorRights. Metada are a vital part of my work. I need a choice on what I share.

You don't force musicians to strip their shared songs of all information on title, album, singer or composer.
