We started from the public deal counts published by Media and the Machine and the deal lists kept by Digiday, Press Gazette and Ithaka S+R, then checked every deal against a press report or a statement from one of the parties, and each row links to at least one dated source. A deal is listed when a named publication or a party has reported who bought or licensed the data, who supplied it, what it covers and when. Dates are the month a deal was announced or first reported. Values are shown as reported. The number in valueUsd is filled only when a US dollar figure was published: a range counts at its lower end, an 'up to' figure at its stated maximum and an annual figure as one year, while unit prices, euro amounts and undisclosed terms are left blank. Estimates are labeled as estimates. Training means a reported right to train models; live access means content used in AI answers or generated output without a reported training right; both means training and live access; sale means an outright purchase of a dataset; acquisition means the purchase of a data supplier or an equity stake in one; bid means a winning bid in a bankruptcy auction that still needs court approval. Totals add licenses and sales only: acquisitions are counted separately, and a winning bid stays out of every total and of the sales count until a court approves the sale. Settlements, negotiations, losing bids, funding rounds and offers to authors are not listed as deals. We never publish the terms of deals made for Rightmark clients.", "totals": { "licencesAndSalesUsd": 1006150000, "dealsInTotals": 23, "acquisitionsUsd": 47381250000, "pendingBidsUsd": 10000000 }, "note": "valueUsd is one US dollar figure per deal as reported: the lower end of a range, the stated maximum of an 'up to' figure and one year of an annual figure. inTotals marks the deals our totals add: licenses and sales with a valueUsd.
