EFF to Court: The Supreme Court Must Rein in Expansive Secondary Copyright Liability

If the Supreme Court doesn't reverse a lower court's ruling, internet service providers (ISPs) could be forced to terminate people's internet access based on nothing more than mere accusations of copyright infringement. This would threaten innocent users who rely on broadband for essential aspects of daily life. EFF-along with the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and Re:Create-filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reverse the decision.

Judge: Anthropic's $1.5B settlement is being shoved "down the throat of authors"

Instead, critics fear Anthropic will get off cheaply, striking a deal with authors suing that covers less than 500,000 works and paying a small fraction of its total valuation (currently $183 billion) to get away with the massive theft. Defector noted that the settlement doesn't even require Anthropic to admit wrongdoing, while the company continues raising billions based on models trained on authors' works.
