Seasons Greetings to members and friends.

PDLN sends best wishes to its members, the publishers who trust them with content licensing, and our many partners who support journalism in the industry.

PDLN Winter 2026

PDLN look forward to a busy 2026. Our new member only discussion group on AI - run by OPR and Corint - is going well. The EuroHub group continues to address developments on licensing of press use by Google and others, and new groups covering our core MMO business and content protection (how to prevent illegal scraping of websites) have been established. See https://www.pdln.info/projects-topics (member only area).

Our 2026 conference will be in Amsterdam June 7- 9th with ArtikelPro as hosts. The website is now live here and details of speakers and the business and social schedule will be added in the coming weeks.

We welcome the challenges of ensuring press content is used responsibly under market friendly agreements.
