$750 per pirated book?

Back in March, I posted a link to help authors to discover whether or not their works had been pirated by various AI-developing folks.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI

Two of mine showed up, but one had its title horribly mangled.

Now, I have a link to a lawyer (class action) to share. This one is against Anthropic.

The SWFA states:

"If you have friends or colleagues who are not part of SFWA and may be impacted by this lawsuit, we encourage you to share this website with them:https://www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-author-contact/

The sooner they get in contact, the better.

If you are receiving this email, you will also be receiving information about the lawsuit from Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP in the following weeks. We encourage you to follow up. 

After the settlement is finalized, we will update you on the full details. "

I thought that I saw somewhere that the class action suit might be worth $750 per book illegally exploited, but I cannot be sure where I saw that.

All the best,
