Just found out about this Bartz v Anthropic settlement where a copyright lawsuit is being brought against Anthropic for using pirated books to train AI models.

Once, I had an essay published in an anthology, so I used the Authors Guild search tool to look for the book, and it's included in the list of books being included in the claim. (I don't think I can file a claim though, since I'm not listed as the author of the book, so I emailed the editors to let them know the info.)

Anyway the deadline to file a claim is March 30.

Just updating to say I did some more research and called the representative of the settlement, and it seems like filing a claim is a good idea after all (even though I wasn't listed as an author in their search tool). I have now submitted a claim, which took a while because I had to list all the co-authors. (There are 33.)
