Just forwarded the search link to a friend. He coauthored a long out-of-date book on podcasting, and it’s on their list. A lot of these authors will get a nice bonus.

my company gonna sue them too

Why is a single payment for an arbitrary amount of money still enforced to the authors?

Anthropic should have all their models deleted so they start from the beginning following copyright laws.

The claimants have deemed it acceptable.

And it’s probably a fine line between something and the entire deal being deemed excessive

But this means there’s still no precedence, no?

Yes. A settlement means there was no finding, and no admission of guilt.

Wow, so uh, that’s gonna come out to fractions of a cent on the dollar, in terms of actual revenue generated from flagrant copyright violations.

It is deeply infuriating how fundamentally our society is designed to protect of people and organizations that are already blindingly wealthy.

Will this perhaps set a precedent for future models where authors will be able to price their work differently?

Authors will receive next to nothing too :) Only publishers.

That’s the point of publishing deals, though. Authors don’t need to pay upfront costs, in return the publishers get to keep the revenues. Not really related to AI.

I know this has nothing to do with that, but the word publishers always reminds me of a thing.

FUCK YOU ELSEVIER

Check if Anthropic owes you $3100 here: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

Good link, but I don’t think that’s going to apply to any of us here 🤷‍♀️️

Interesting to see Lemmy users who are normally “information should be free” supporters suddenly support the copyright system

Information between you and me? Yes.

Information a trillion dollar company really wants to get their greedy hands on? Fuck you, play by the rules of the society you have shaped.
