Yeah currently contracts require the author's or publisher's consent. If anyone is a writer make sure to triple check your contracts for this shit.

    And unless you are Stephan King or the like exactly how are you going to get the publishing cartel (I think they re consolidated downs to 3-4 publishers now) to change their contract to not include this? Their response will almost certainly be either "that's non-negotiable" or "ok then you get half as much money".

    Publishers will at least retain the right to use AI audio books for themselves. And it's much easier for an author to get a piece of something the publisher does than it is for them to get money for books Amazon recorded without their consent.
