@johnvoorhees@macstories.net

I run @macstories with @viticci where we write about Apple and apps.

I also co-host four weekly MacStories podcasts: @appstories about the world of apps, @unwind, covering favorite movies, TV, music, videogames, and other media, @ruminate, a show about the weird web and offbeat snacks, and @npc, a show about the games we take with us.

If you’re a developer and building a cool app, get in touch by email voorhees@macstories.net.

The past several weeks have revealed that startups to tech giants have run amok, trouncing the property rights across every creative industry. It's wrong and needs to be stopped.

At @macstories, @viticci and I are calling for regulation in the US and EU, our home bases, but it's a problem that should be addressed by every government around the world.

We encourage you to read it and join us in calling for change.

Six days later, what started as a ‘WTF is going on?’ moment for @robb, @viticci, and me has become something else entirely.

The latest from Business Insider, which reports that OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring publishers’ robots.txt files too.
