Note the name Mathieu Kassovitz: so you know that you can forget that guy already now!
Dead drunk by AI-marketing, he says: “Fuck copyright”. But if another guy steals from him: "of course I’m gonna sue them."

Better: "Tim Kraft, a leading German copyright lawyer, said there were almost 140 pending cases against AI companies over copyright, mostly in the US, but also in Germany."

And now forget that stealing director.

Authors, check your inboxes! If you're part of Anthropic's $1.5B AI piracy settlement, CNET has the lowdown on how to file your claims.

It's a brave new world where algorithms pay royalties. What's next, a Git merge conflict resolution fund for developers?

Anthropic shelling out $1.5B to authors for using their books to train AI models! Even Steven Levy, the article's author, is coming around to the idea. So, is this the future of fair use, or just a really expensive apology?
