You may have heard about the class action against Anthropic, who trained their models using pirated, copyrighted works (including mine):

Since they are settling the suit, you may want to ensure you can be contacted by counsel; you may be owed damages. (Amount TBD. Don't get your hopes up, but expect more than zero!)

The Authors Guild has useful information on how this impacts authors and what authors need to do:

The Leader of Trump’s Assault on Higher #Education Has a Troubled #Legal and Financial History
==

Leo Terrell’s past is at odds with Trump’s description of an “incredibly successful” attorney.

Documents obtained by ProPublica and The Chronicle of Higher Education reveal a trail of legal disputes and unpaid debts.

Je suis à la recherche d'un modèle sérieux de Conditions Générales de Vente pour une boutique en ligne que je souhaite ouvrir en septembre.

Je trouve des choses de ci de là mais honnêtement je m'y perds. Si jamais vous avez un tuyaux, je suis preneur.

N'hésitez pas à partager, merci :)

The proposal being evaluated now would allow the president to mobilize #troops & put them on #Title32 orders in a #state experiencing unrest. The documents detailing the plan acknowledge the potential for #political friction should the #governor refuse to work with the #Pentagon.
Some #legal scholars expressed apprehension about the proposal.
[I should think!]

#Trump says #FBI ‘may have to’ help bring #Texas#Democrats back to state

After Republican Sen John Cornyn of Texas called on the FBI to help locate & #arrest Democrats who left the state to block a vote on a new congressional map, Trump said, “They may have to.”

“A lot of people have demanded they come back. You can’t just sit it out. You have to go back, you have to fight it out,” said Trump.

#Legal experts & even #Republican state AG #KenPaxton say it would be difficult to enforce consequences against the Democratic lawmakers.

#Texas House rules allow for fines of $500 every day the #Democrats are absent. The #House also issued civil warrants for the missing lawmakers to be arrested & returned to the House.

It's never too early to start thinking about ! @bkuhn @karen @lexelas @richardfontana @tmarble and I would like to submit a proposal for the " and Devroom" to @fosdem as soon as they open the CfP. Like last year we would like get feedback by you, our community:

* What did you especially like in 2025 fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track ?

* What would you like to see improved?

* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?

The #SCOTUS June decision to scale back the ability of lower #courts to issue #NationwideInjunctions, & the administration’s success at persuading the justices to overturn about a dozen temporary blocks on its agenda in recent months, might only embolden #Trump officials to defy lower courts, several #legal experts said.
