@m04 @FediPact I hope they file criminal charges for that!
- Cuz a #ClassAction merely allows #StasiBook to pay pocket change and get away with it.

@zleap @FediPact #ClassAction allows big corporations to just pay up and not undo (see #Sony's #OtherOSsettlement) the shit they caused!
So, I figure if #BigPublishing can shut down the #InternetArchive's borrowing services, they should apply the same rules to #AI, right? (Personally, I'd rather have Internet Archive have access to books than AI).

A California federal judge has ruled that three #US #authors suing #Anthropic for #copyrightinfringement can represent writers nationwide in a #classaction lawsuit, whose #books the #AI startup allegedly pirated to train its #Claude #chatbot.
Judge Alsup said Anthropic may have illegally downloaded as many as 7 million books from the pirate websites, which could make it liable for billions of dollars in damages if the authors' case is successful.

@X00001 #Nintendo kicking #Switch2 devices off their network for #ToS violations is one thing, and like the #Xbox360 that is justifyable.
- However remotely #bricking devices is not, as Nintendo does not own these devices legally when they are rightfully sold to a consumer.
Even #Microsoft of all corporations knew that they cannot cross that line, and merely exclude #consoles from #Multiplayer and #Purchases but still allowing people to play their games.
- I sincerely hope people will not just #ClassAction [because that means Nintendo can just throw money at the problem and not #undo anything (see #Sony #PS3 #OtherOSsettlement)] but file criminal charges for #hacking and #malware against Nintendo.
I am not affected and most certainly won't buy a #NSW2 / #SW2 for that reason alone.
