Torstar Corporation

Yeah.

Finally, a group of publishers that includes the Globe and Mail, Postmedia, Torstar, and the Canadian Press has filed a copyright lawsuit against Anthropic in Ontario, alleging it has used their collective work to build its flagship model, Claude.

The outlets claim Anthropic has continued to scrape content from their websites without permission to provide up-to-date news stories to users.

Here's what else is on our radar and should be on yours too.

That makes sense, then.

So you, you ran Torstar and were the publisher of the Toronto Star before this, and newspapers were told their product was in permanent decline-

Correct

... and now wine hears the same thing.

Mm-hmm.

Um, uh, Metro got acquired by Torstar fully at a certain point, and then that opened my eyes to a much more corporate environment because, um, Sun Media was corporate, but I was young in my career- Mm ... um, and pretty, you know- Mm-hmm ... f- focused on the task- Mm ... at hand, and not as aware probably.

Um, Metro was scrappy and entrepreneurial and, and, you know, go, go, go, and I loved that energy.

And then m- bringing it back to Torstar, um, I had exposure to so many more brands, so many more stakeholders.

Mm.

And I got to participate in a number of side projects while I ran a territory.
