"#Anthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by Authors"
Precedent set?
Both of my #Scarfolk books were downloaded and pirated from the LibGen 'shadow library'.
Compensation would be nice.
Anyone aware of other class-action lawsuits I can join, or have any other legal pointers?

Win win.

in reply to Richard Littler • • •Oof. 4 of my books in, but I cannot send the form "due to high website traffic". If that means what it suggest, printing all the forms would make a thick book like "Voina i Mir"…
Edit, for other German authors: LCHB also has an office in München, Germany.
