A federal judge has approved a $1.5 billion copyright settlement involving AI company Anthropic. The company will pay thousands of authors about $3,000 per book for using pirated copies to train its Claude chatbot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if an author wanted to waive there claim to the settlement and look for more, but arguing for damages is a hard hurdle. Depending on the local laws you may need actual examples, or a measurable decrease in sales. Fuck this ask for forgiveness shit

However, nobody is going to prison for making a backup of an album they own.
