Publishers are agreeing on common rules for tracking how SI uses their articles so they can be paid for it.
The New York Times, AFP and The Economist have joined the SPUR coalition (Standards for Publisher Usage Rights); earlier members include the BBC, Financial Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Sky News and AP. The coalition does not license content itself but develops common rules and technical tools. In October it released its first standard: SI developers record when an article was retrieved, used in an answer, cited or shown, and pass the records to publishers to calculate payments. Meanwhile The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft, and USA Today and a number of newspapers have sued OpenAI. The SI companies' position on the standard was not found in the source checked.
