**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!

oh this is fucked
"Once a book is out of print and the publisher is no longer paying royalties to the author, the publisher has no reason to keep track of the authorās address. If a publisher makes a claim for a work included in the settlement, but the authorās address is unknown, the publisher gets to keep 100% of the payment for that work. So publishers have a financial incentive not to provide authorsā addresses..."

@susankayequinn @ehasbrouck Seems like the simple solution is for writers to send their address to the publisher, noting explicitly in the letter that it is for the express purpose of receiving the settlement. If the publisher then keeps the money, it is embezzlement.

@lizardmcguire follow @BrentToderian for human-friendly cities.

Now, for even better privacy and security, we should have a Linux edition.

@lexinova @leanderlindahl @hennavirkkunen Multiple reputable news sources (including Die Zeit) picked it up from DPA, which appears to be the German equivalent of the US Associated Press. The DPA say they were told this directly by the EU Commission. Here's a link to Die Zeit's article:

It's the same article; all the outlets ran the DPA news unchanged.
