With a collective licence, UK authors get a slice of the AI pie
In a major step toward protecting authors' rights in the digital age, UK licencing bodies have announced a "pioneering" new collective licence that will ensure writers are paid when their work is used to train generative AI systems. Created by the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) in collaboration with the Publishers' Licensing Services (PLS) and the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), this first-of-its-kind licence is set to be available to AI developers by the end of 2025, reported The Guardian. The move has been described as a "significant development" by the organisations involved, offering a workable and fair alternative to the UK government's controversial proposal for a copyright exemption for text and data mining. That plan, currently under consultation, would allow AI developers to scrape and use copyrighted content unless rights holders opt out, a measure widely criticised by the creative industries. Instead, the collective licence will provide a clear legal route for AI developers to access copyrighted material while compensating the writers and publishers who created it. For authors who don't have the resources or leverage to negotiate directly with tech firms, the licence represents a major shift in power. "The pioneering licence for the use of text in generative AI, such as in the training and fine-tuning of an AI language model or use in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), will be the first of its kind in the UK," PLS and ALCS announced in a joint statement. "It offers a cost-effective and convenient solution to AI developers who are required to obtain permission to use content to innovate and develop models." Protecting creatives The licence builds on collective licensing principles already in place for commercial text and data mining, and for workplace use of content in AI prompts. The CLA is also set to roll out a commercial text and data mining licence on May 1. This broader infrastructure reflects a coordinated industry push to safeguard content creators as AI becomes increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous. Barbara Hayes, CEO of ALCS, emphasised the licence's importance amid growing pressure from members. "When we surveyed our members last year, they made it clear that they expect us to do something about their works being used to train AI," she said. "The government proposal to introduce a copyright exception would give very limited choice, wouldn't remunerate creators or provide any transparency about which works are being used. We're pleased to be working with our partners at PLS and CLA to develop a licence that delivers on these terms for writers." Indeed, according to the ALCS survey, 81 per cent of writers support the idea of a collective licence if it ensures compensation and transparency, something the opt-out model has failed to guarantee. This UK-based initiative stands in sharp contrast to the challenges faced across the Atlantic. In the US, major authors and publishers have filed lawsuits against companies like Meta and OpenAI for allegedly training models on copyrighted content without permission. Meta has argued that it's "economically unfeasible" to negotiate with individual rights holders, calling such a process "practically impossible" when millions of works are involved. The UK's collective licencing model cuts through that Gordian knot by offering a scalable, rights-respecting solution. "Our goal is to provide a clear, legal pathway for access to quality content," said CLA CEO Mat Pfleger. "One that empowers innovators to develop transformative generative AI technologies whilst respecting copyright and compensating rights holders." Tom West, CEO of PLS, added: "Following an initial consultation phase with publishers last year and significant groundwork over recent months, I am pleased to move forward with this important and much-needed initiative to support an equitable, transparent, and sustainable framework for content use in the age of AI." As the AI industry continues to reshape the creative landscape, this collective licence could offer a much-needed blueprint, ensuring the future of tech is built not on exploitation, but on fair collaboration.

High Voltage: Lithium rebound could be on the cards and these North American players are getting ready
Analysts predict lithium supply deficit next year will see aggressive turnaround in price PLS CEO says pricing will move upwards, but the question is when These North American developers could be poised to catch the upswing Our High Voltage column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, rare earths, and vanadium. Analysts from Fastmarkets and Argonaut are predicting a possible lithium supply deficit much sooner than others have anticipated. Argonaut's head of research Hayden Bairstow is among the voices tipping an earlier return to balance in the oversupplied lithium market, saying the risk of a big run up in spodumene concentrate prices next year was emerging. 'It's actually largely demand related. I think that you're seeing EV sales running at 20% growth all of the last year,' he told Stockhead's Josh Chiat earlier this month. 'They've popped back up to ~35% for the first two months on average, so there's a stronger EV sales growth rate already. 'Battery storage is just growing in importance. It was up 60% last year, it's still running at 40% this year, albeit off a much higher base. 'When you've got those sort of demand numbers running, it won't be long before a) the market swings from surplus to deficit, but b) then gets into a panic again, and you'll see an aggressive move in pricing.' Argonaut is not alone in seeing the lithium supply-demand nexus shift back into balance around the end of 2025. Price agency Fastmarkets thinks a 154,000t LCE surplus in 2024 will swing to a 10,000t surplus this year and 1500t deficit in 2026. If that happens, a supply shock could leave lithium prices susceptible to a volatile price spike. Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) managing director and CEO Dale Henderson said in the company's results call on Thursday that it's reasonable to assume pricing will move upwards, but the big question is when. 'Historically, the lithium market has tended to respond rapidly and catch the market by surprise,' he said. Despite producing less spodumene in the March quarter (due to the Ngungaju plant being on care and maintenance and the impact of tropical cyclone Zelia) the company reported a 7% increase in prices to approximately US$747/t (CIF China) on a ~SC5.3 basis with sales of ~125,500t. And on the demand side, Henderson remains bullish, pointing to EV sales which have started the year very strongly, with sales for March up an estimated 29% year-on-year – along with strong demand for battery storage. 'Forecasts indicate demand is expected to grow by 89% between now and the end of the decade, a compelling signal of the sector's underlying strength,' Henderson said. These North American developers could be ready to run The future recovery of the lithium market is set to throw the spotlight on new and emerging markets as supply runs short of future demand. One of those is in North America, where the fall in lithium prices a couple of years ago halted momentum in Canada becoming a major supplier. But the next cycle could usher in the full arrival of the country's lithium sector. And these companies which have worked tirelessly through the downturn could be in line to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Lithium Universe (ASX:LU7) In Feb, the company revealed the results on its definitive feasibility study for the proposed Bécancour lithium carbonate refinery in Quebec, Canada, which reflected a cautious price forecast of US$1170 per tonne (AUD$1840) for spodumene concentrate and $20,970/t for battery-grade lithium carbonate equivalent. That's not that far above current, suppressed, lithium prices. At full production capacity, the project is expected to generate $383m in annual revenue with costs totalling ~$236m leading to an annual EBITDA of ~$148m and a gross margin of 39%. The capital cost for the project, which boasts an annual capacity of up to 18,270t, is estimated at $549m with the latest update including a zero liquid discharge system to enable the recycling and reuse of all process water on site. A full-rate payback period of 3.9 years has also been estimated along with a post-tax NPV at an 8% discount of US$449m (AUD$706.9m), IRR of 21% and expected revenue of $383m. Lithium Universe said the project's economics demonstrate the viability of a strong lithium conversion refinery, even within a below-average pricing environment. The project is now proceeding to the funding stage, with encouraging discussions taking place with various banks and debt providers. Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1) Also in Canada, the company's Root project is shaping up as another key player, with an optimised Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) highlighting stronger economics despite recent market dynamics. Given fluctuating price predictions and volatile market analysis, the company looked at several different forecasts to assess an average price over the production period – settling on an average annual spodumene concentrate price of US $1977/t FOB Thunder Bay for a 5.5% Li2O spodumene concentrate (SC5.5) product. In addition, GT1 evaluated Root as a standalone project for this PEA as opposed to the December 2023 PEA which combined the Root project with the Seymour project and considered the recently updated resource of 20.1Mt at 1.24% Li2O. The study updated pit optimisations for the Root, Root Bay and McCombe deposits to US$400-2000, below the US$2500/t pit shells in the 2023 PEA. Open pit and underground development options were considered for Root Bay and McCombe to reduce waste movements and mining costs, whilst preserving opportunities for future growth. The company also increased mining and processing inventories adding eight months to the operational life of the project. The next steps will be advancing permitting in parallel with a pre-feasibility study. A definitive feasibility study is slated to follow in 2026. Jindalee Lithium (ASX:JLL) The company's McDermitt project is neighbours with the Thacker Pass lithium mine, also in Nevada, which reached a final investment decision (FID) for the first phase of construction in recent weeks. It is a joint venture between Lithium Americas Corporation and US automaker General Motors and is set to exploit a large lithium resource to produce battery grade lithium carbonate, becoming the largest US producer by an order of magnitude when Phase 1 is completed in late 2027. ioneer (ASX:INR) INR owns the Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron project in Nevada and secured approval from the US Bureau of Land Management on the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) last year, marking the final hurdle in the federal permitting process. In a record-setting deal for an Australian company, ioneer received a $US996m ($1.6b) 20-year loan from the US Department of Energy to develop an on-site processing facility at the project. The company lifted resources at the asset by 45% in March to 510Mt containing 3.97Mt of lithium carbonate equivalent and 14.66Mt of boric acid equivalent, which will be the first new lithium mine in the US in almost 60 years and the first new boron mine in almost 100. Ioneer copped a hit however, when its proposed partner Sibanye-Stillwater decided not to proceed with a JV and project equity funding agreement. American explorers also well placed for price upswing On the exploration side, Chariot Corporation (ASX:CC9) has stakes in both hard rock and clay-hosted lithium assets in Wyoming, Nevada and Oregon. The company is focused on its Black Mountain mine, exploring for a large-scale resource and testing the viability of a pilot mine. The pilot's proposed modular plant design would reduce upfront costs, offer flexibility to scale up rapidly, and provide short-term cash flow. A second phase RC drilling program kicked off back in November with the objective of defining a small-scale lithium resource that may support the establishment of the pilot mine. There's also Anson Resources (ASX:ASN) with its Paradox Basin lithium asset, situated on 2,34 federal placer mineral claims which recently received approval from the USA Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management to begin western expansion resource drilling. The company plans to enter the Mineral Canyon Fed 1-3 and Sunburst 1 wells to expand its current 1Mt lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) resource. Meanwhile, work is progressing at the DLE Green River pilot plant in Utah, 50km from Paradox, which reached a >99% average rejection rate of impurities including sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Rejecting more than 99% of impurities paves the way for a higher purity lithium carbonate product for use in electric vehicle batteries, which translates to low purification costs.

Lawsuit claims NYS prisons violate the Constitution by denying inmates legal counsel access
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) is being sued by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) over claims the Prisoners' Legal Services (PLS) has been unable to communicate openly with clients incarcerated at DOCCS facilities amid the strikes. Correctional officers at nearly all New York State prisons have been on strike since Feb. 17, calling for safer working conditions and a repeal of the HALT Act. As a result of these unsanctioned strikes, visitation was initially canceled at several striking facilities, a move that has since been modified, with safety enhancements and requirements for visitors added, including the use of body scanners for folks looking to visit DOCCS facilities. This new lawsuit, filed on behalf of PLS on Tuesday, claims that since the strikes started, inmates have been denied proper access to legal representation by PLS. 'PLS has been unable to speak securely to many of its current and prospective clients, despite reports that people on the inside cannot access medicine, healthcare, and food, that incarcerated individuals are being held in solitary confinement, that assaults within the prison are going unaddressed by staff, and that at least seven people have died, among other deprivations,' the lawsuit stated. 15 now on leave after inmate death at Mid-State prison The strikes are nearing the three-week mark, despite a deal struck that includes penalties for those who've continued to strike after March 1. In one example, the lawsuit claimed one of PLS' clients was assaulted by correctional staff at the Mid-State Correctional Facility this weekend. 'PLS attorneys have been attempting to have a legal call with a client at Mid-State Correctional Facility, who has a March 20, 2025 deadline for a notice of appeal in a work release challenge in state court. On March 3, his PLS attorney received a report that this client was assaulted by members of the prison's correctional staff on or around Friday, Feb. 28, or Saturday, March 1,' the lawsuit claimed. Of the reported deaths of incarcerated individuals in recent weeks, the lawsuit claimed that the death of one inmate in particular, Jonathan Grant at Auburn Correctional Facility, was the direct result of his medical help requests being denied. It's alleged the 61-year-old man had several strokes, including at least one in the week prior to his death, the lawsuit stated. The lawsuit claimed PLS clients at DOCCS facilities have been unable to schedule legal visits since Feb. 18. 'The suspension of legal calls at several DOCCS facilities, including but not limited to Attica, Auburn, Franklin, Marcy and Midstate, is indefinite. Legal visits are indefinitely suspended at those facilities and many more,' the lawsuit stated. According to the lawsuit, these actions violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit is asking for a reversal of these limitations and award costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. News 8 reached out to DOCCS for comment but officials were unable to provide a statement citing ongoing litigation.

PLS CEO on 1H Results, Lithium Outlook
PLS, Australia's biggest pure-play lithium producer, swung to a first-half loss amid low prices for the battery-making commodity and writedowns on investments in new growth platforms. However, PLS MD & CEO Dale Henderson said that he was "highly optimistic" about the lithium market's long-term outlook. He speaks with Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn on "Bloomberg: The Asia Trade".
