Anthropic lost a class action suit for scraping books.

@mwl sounds like contempt of court

@mwl @nuintari Can you maybe aim that a little to the east? There’s a white house that could use a new paintjob…

@mwl @slotos I'll grant you "idealistic about copyright" regarding people who think that copyright grants the same protection to their work as it does to Microsoft's. But not ignorant, because on paper it does.

@mwl is there a source for this?

[mwl@io.mwl.io]

@xgebi it's big discussion over on bsky, and I've experienced it myself.

They're proposing corrections on my original filing to add books included in the original filing, providing multiple incompatible answers to questions on how to correct filings, and the human help desk says it's buggy software and they can't help you.

[mwl@io.mwl.io]

@rupert @slotos that's true. But folks have very weird ideas about copyright that aren't in the law. Read Nolo Press' Copyright Handbook if you're curious.

@nuintari There's great minds. Then there's our minds.

@mwl I have lost count of the conflicting emails I have received from them. It's ... tiring. Just send me the money, I'll dole it out.

[nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@mwl Well, they are minds.....

@mwl such a beatiful emoji! I want’em!
