    "Authors, Time to Get That (Anthropic) Bag" by John Scalzi
    https://whatever.scalzi.com/2025/10/02/authors-time-to-get-that-bag/

    "To begin, for those of you who do not follow such things with intense interest, a little context about the rCLAIrCY company Anthropic being sued
    for stealing authorsrCO works and reaching a settlement. Go read that and
    come back when you do."

    https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-judge-approves-15-billion-anthropic-copyright-settlement-with-authors-2025-09-25/

    "The law firm representing authors in the suit has posted up a
    searchable database listing which works are included in the settlement.
    I went and looked and had 17 qualifying works, and filed claims for
    them; at $3,000 per title it adds up. Now, how much of that $3k/title I
    get after lawyer payout and other shenanigans will be another question entirely, but thatrCOs for another time."

    I wonder if any of the five technical books that I have written are on
    the list. I will have to search it.
