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

like to charge reblog to cast financial ruin of the AI industry 🔮

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.

Updated February 18, 2026 IMPORTANT: The Claims Deadline Is March 30 Background  Bartz v. Anthropic is one of the major copyright lawsuits b

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 less than 48 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 ON THIS IF YOU’RE OWED MONEY. Just go do it!

…Please.

Pick a Song to Get Through the Next Week With (from a bad description)

"I just woke up, like, brimming with rage. *strained laughter*"

(stares into space as industrial noise and Latin chants play in the background)

That's my emotional support metal song of the summer and you can't have it.

Can we please stop pelting Martin Gore with the dodgeball of Apollo?

Soothing piano music for cats (for people)

SPITE ALONE HOLDS ME ALOFT

Save me, anti-racist grandpas! Anti-racist grandpas, save me!

I wouldn't say everybody knows, but Leonard Cohen did for sure.

Some days the only thing that helps is Ukrainian folktronica.

Tumblr's traditional New Year's song gets to be extra-meaningful again. Yay.

(stares into space as Irish tin whistle plays in the background)

"*strained laughter* We're so screwed!"

Voting ended onNov 21, 2024

You know what I'm gonna miss? I'm gonna miss the weeks being a week long instead of like ten years long. That's what I'm gonna miss.

Anyway, pick a song from a bad description! You do not have to recognize the song you choose. Go from the vibes. Maybe you just need hopeful words from your anti-racist grandpas right now. Maybe you need some emotional support metal, or soothing piano music. Whatever works for you.

At the end of the week I will put all the songs in order, from the song with the fewest number of votes to the song with the highest number of votes. If you would like to hear the playlist, please leave a comment or put it in your reblog, and I will tag you when the playlist is up.

Also, please reblog the poll! It's not much, but it's a minor distraction, and I think we all need a little distraction.

This morning there was a nation-wide text spam campaign targeting Black Americans (largely students) telling them that they’ve been selected to pick cotton and will be picked up to be sent to a plantation after Trump’s inauguration.

People online are making jokes about it, but it’s genuinely a disturbing sign. Someone was emboldened enough to intentionally run a background on thousands of young Black people and send them racist messages the day after a very exhausting and stressful election.

Racist messages telling people that they were selected to pick cotton for a plantation group have been received across the country -- includ

Black students around the country are receiving racist text messages ordering them to report to plantations.

Local law enforcement is looking into the messages.

Please boost this if you can!!! This story is still developing and a lot of the people who have been getting the messages say they’re scared to leave home now.

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

[winjennster]

Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.

[uncleromeo]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
