Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.

The Internet Archive has decided to not file an appeal with the USA Supreme Court over the piracy lawsuit it lost last year.
Taylor Swift might not have needed a publisher for her book, but she really could have used the assistance of some competent professionals.
Apparently if you give ChatGPT a snippet from an article and ask it to find the source, it will sometimes just make shit up.
Book Funnel just debuted their version of a universal book link (this is a link to a page with buttons leading to a bunch of book retailers). The reason I describe it as BF’s version is that Draft2Digital launched a similar service in (I think?) 2018. It’s awesome, and you should use it.
