If you've been researching this class-action lawsuit, you may also have come across another recent case involving Audible. The dispute was between the media platform and seven major book publishers; HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Hachette, Scholastic, Chronicle Books, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan. The lawsuit centered around an Audible feature called Captions, which allows listeners to transcribe audiobooks to text. The plaintiffs maintained that this function was a breach of copyright. The parties came to an agreement in relation to the dispute in 2020. Though the full details of the settlement were not made public, it was revealed that Audible could no longer reproduce text versions of its audiobooks unless it receives prior approval from the publisher of the book in question. Reports indicate that the Captions feature on the Audible platform will not undergo further development for the time being.
