Anyone know how you join the class action lawsuit?

Am I right in assuming that's all fiction writers in the US, as opposed to globally?

alexanderchee.bsky.social•525 days ago

I’ll get back to you on that or ask @authorsguild.bsky.social

fhayesmccoy.bsky.social•525 days ago

Many thanks.

What about non-fiction? The book they stole from me is NF.

How do we get our names on AGs radar if we can't afford dues at this time?

alexanderchee.bsky.social•524 days ago

You can always jut send them an email at their website for free and ask for help.

There are non-fiction books in the training set. Do we know if publishers can/are joining the suit?

jeffvandermeer.bsky.social•525 days ago

thanks for that explanation!

Thank you for your reply. I just hunted down the info (I’m in and out of wifi range) and saw that the suit has already been filed. I’ll join AG regardless. I appreciate having info on social media when connectivity is limited!

@philnel.bsky.social I think your book has been used to train AI, right? Here’s some info on the class-action lawsuit…

philnel.bsky.social•524 days ago

Yep! One book that I know of — though it’s possible that there are others. Unfortunately, given above info, my book is non-fiction AND I am not a member of the Authors Guild. But thanks for the info.!
