AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

Authors have until March 30th, 2026 (That is just 9 days as of this reblog, which I am posting on March 21st, 2026) to file their claim against Anthropic to be reimbursed up to $3,000 per work found in the list.

Please click the above link for all of the exact details of how to file a claim and to check for your works, and share this post as far and wide as you can before March 30th, 2026!

!!!SIGNAL BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!

Seriously, friends! If you’re a member of the class in the class action, you now have sort of 72 hours left to file your claim. If you’re owed money and do not file your claim before March 30, YOU WILL GET NO MONEY.

Don’t leave this on the table, cousins! You owe it to the creative community to take EVERY DAMN DOLLAR YOU CAN out of these thieves’ hides.

Here’s the Writers Beware post on this as of last September.

Here’s the Authors Guild page about it. It’s not insanely complicated, and if you’re in the class, they’ve made it easy for you to ID the works involved. (More than 30 for me, for example. Argh.)

Here’s the place where you can do your claim online.

DO NOT FUTZ AROUND IF YOU’RE OWED MONEY. Just go do it!

Praying that $1500 randomly comes to you when you need it the most this year.

Okay inflation is crazy.

We bumping up the price to $15,000 for 2026.

the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

[holdingup-fallingsky]

Lord Huron really is such an insane band because they explore themes of regret, grief, and loneliness through the message of even if you had the chance to start your life over again, you will still end up in the same situation because you can’t change who you are fundamentally, and that’s ok by asking the question “what if your life was controlled by the Eldritch Jukebox”

[sailforvalinor]

Ah yes, the three kinds of Lord Huron songs: “Man, I miss my girlfriend,” “isn’t adventure cool?”, and “I’m being hunted by an ancient eldritch being, and I most certainly am going to die”

[quasi-normalcy]

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"

this might sound stupid but I can’t help but believe that the new wave of “birth control is actually horrible for your body, you need to get off it immediately” misinformation from influencers and the ‘natural cycle tracking’ apps suddenly being advertised is a sneaky underhanded way of causing more unplanned pregnancies that people now cannot abort. now is possibly the worst time ever to turn towards ‘natural family planning’

[optimysticals]

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^

If your birth control makes you ill work with a doctor to find one that works well.

When I thought I was a girl I tried several that essentially were giving me morning sickness everyday because the hormones didn't agree with my body. It wasn't until I went on a no estrogen (low didn't cut it) birth control that my body was chill with it.

All that is to say, controlling when and if you get pregnant with birth control is important and "nature girlie" methods are a facet of tradwife rhetoric. Don't fall for it.

I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:

They were free.

They were fucking free.

They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.

Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.

Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.

At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.

In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.

Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.

That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.
