Creatives stop using #WeTransfer
barnabyedwards.bsky.social Barnaby Edwards @barnabyedwards.bsky.social · Jul 15
An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).

If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

If, like me, you missed the release of Geoff Arsenault's Hired Hand album, get caught up with my review fervorcoulee.wordpress.com/2025/05/16/g... and then search out this acutely crafted little gem. Fea. Colin LInden, Joey Landreth, Glenn Patscha, Amy Helm, and more- but Arsenault is the focus.

Geoff Arsenault will be launching his new record “Hired Hand” tonight at the Carlton in Halifax. I’m so happy this album is now making its way to the public’s ears. So much creative energy went into making this record working side-by-side with Geoff and Glenn Patscha. Here’s his first video… Enjoy!
