Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.

• SFWA has changed their name from “of America” to “Association”. They have also changed their membership guidelines. 
• I just found a nifty site which will generate an image based on text input. 
• There’s a fascinating copyright lawsuit underway right now concerning a photo reproduced as a tattoo. 
• BookFunnel has a refresher on what will happen when Amazon stops accepting Mobi files as input. 
• If your schedule allows it, there’s a copyright and tech conference you should attend in NYC in September.  (I would go if I could.)
• Amazon’s ebook return policy continues to get media attention.  I’ve checked, and this is at least the third time authors have complained about this policy in the past decade or so.
• There’s this art project in Norway to plant a new forest just so it can be cut down a century from now and turned into books. What pretentious twaddle.
• Remember a few months back when I said that computer-generated narration is just a couple steps away from being as good as automated ebook conversion? Spotify’s acquisition of Sonantic suggests that day is even closer than we’d think. 

P.S. I hadn’t planned to ask anyone for money to support his newsletter, but just the other day i got a reminder from Flattr. This is a Patreon competitor, and I have an account there. If you would like to support this newsletter directly, and not just my web design and other services, you can donate via Flattr.
