Heads-up for published authors:
-
@grammargirl It's interesting to watch the payout allocations drop as more and more authors join in I(as they should, but still). The payout when I signed on was over $3000 per book
@leslie @grammargirl still is if you own your own copyrights. If you're splitting with a publisher, it's $1,500.

Heads-up for published authors:
The deadline to join the Anthropic class-action copyright settlement is March 30. If you have published a book, you may be eligible to receive ~$1,500 per book, so it’s worth your time to check it out.
I had been putting it off and finally completed my forms last week.

@grammargirl The numbers seem to keep going down…

@grammargirl Are co-authors eligible? And also, I loved Grammar Girl, and I read as many books as I could before I started my career in tech writing. I still have a couple Grammar Girl books in my reference library at home.
@0f4d0335 Hey, thanks!
I believe you're eligible if you're named on the copyright filing, but you should read the Authors Guild post to be sure.
Also, I think you can search your name at the settlement site to see if you come up.

@grammargirl The last link doesn't work, it seems.
@beckermatic It worked for me just now. Maybe try it again?

@grammargirl
You can only join this if your copyright was registered in the US. All writers from other countries (where the laws respect copyright without having to have it registered) are out of luck. -

@grammargirl @drajt seems pretty low per book to me given the fines issued previously for downloading a movie (also the movie was usually intended for single consumption, not commercial resale)
-
@anne_twain @grammargirl we are the unlucky ones, because our copyright has been broken but we have no recourse, because there is no class action lawsuit that we can join.
-
@grammargirl do they have to be US-based?
@quimnuss You should check, but I do know you have to have filed the copyright, and that might be a U.S. copyright. I'm not sure.

@grammargirl Ooof, gotta do this. Three books on the list of my org as copyright holder. Thanks for the reminder.

@grammargirl Saw this on Bsky just now:
I filed mine a few weeks ago and got a thing in the post yesterday reminding me to file, so now I’ve no idea if they lost it or what. Any ideas how to check?
