**Anthropic AI Class Action Lawsuit**
AUTHOR FRIENDS: the searchable claims database is up! Make sure you check for your works (and check misspellings of your names, titles, etc, the database is a mess).
TELL YOUR FRIENDS
https://www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/The FAQ will answer your questions but I also wrote an editorial about the lawsuit in Sigma (local PGH SFF newsletter): https://parsec-sff.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Sigma-473-September-2025.pdf
Anyway, check it out!
