Phew, just finished reading the document I got in the post the other day all the way from the US, about the Anthropic settlement (for them downloading books from pirate sites to use to train AI.)

Need a cuppa to recover from that much legalese. But it looks like I can make a claim. From a cursory check, I've got 3 books on the Works List, all of which I was the sole owner of at the time, as the rights had reverted to me. A few years before.

FYI #PSA #Anthropic #copyright #AnthropicSettlement The notice for the settlement of up to $3,000.00 US per work is up. I checked and my work is not in the database of downloaded pirated work. Ambivalent about that. Not pirated. Could use the cash, tho.

Anyway, go to the site and verify your works NOW and make your claims before March 30, 2026. Be careful of scams and scammers.

Boost so all authors you know see this.
