Amazon Cuts Self-Published Author Upload Limits

Original: Amazon Slashes Indie Book Author Upload Limits. Here’s Why The Music Industry Can’t Do The Same.

Amazon has sharply reduced the number of titles independent authors can upload to its Kindle self-publishing platform, a move widely read as a crackdown on AI-generated spam books. The change is prompting debate about why streaming services have not taken similar steps against the flood of AI-generated music flooding platforms like Spotify. Publishing's ability to restrict volume contrasts with music licensing structures that make equivalent limits difficult.

Why now: Amazon's limits are being discussed as a model for tackling AI-generated content, raising questions about why music streaming cannot follow suit
