#classaction

4 posts3 participants1 post today

A California federal judge has ruled that three #US #authors suing #Anthropic for #copyrightinfringement can represent writers nationwide in a #classaction lawsuit, whose #books the #AI startup allegedly pirated to train its #Claude #chatbot.
Judge Alsup said Anthropic may have illegally downloaded as many as 7 million books from the pirate websites, which could make it liable for billions of dollars in damages if the authors' case is successful.

Anyone I know file a claim in the "Canadian iPhone Power Management Class Action"?

They supposedly sent out an update for each claim on June 23rd. If you didn't receive an update, & don't inquire as to why by July 23rd (aka in 5 days), you are rejected with no chance of appeal.

Sounds insane for this process to have taken a year & a half to process, but you only have 30 days to have noticed their website update or you lose your $. Fracking Lawyers.

Spread the word!

Its lawyers are expected to seek to narrow prior court rulings & also defend against an anticipated rise in #ClassAction lawsuits challenging #Trump policies.

Lawyers in the unit are opposing 2 attempts by advocacy organizations to establish a nationwide class of people to challenge Trump's order on #BirthrightCitizenship. A judge granted one request on Thursday.

@X00001 #Nintendo kicking #Switch2 devices off their network for #ToS violations is one thing, and like the #Xbox360 that is justifyable.

  • However remotely #bricking devices is not, as Nintendo does not own these devices legally when they are rightfully sold to a consumer.

Even #Microsoft of all corporations knew that they cannot cross that line, and merely exclude #consoles from #Multiplayer and #Purchases but still allowing people to play their games.

I am not affected and most certainly won't buy a #NSW2 / #SW2 for that reason alone.

The process to certify a class can often take months. A snr White House ofcl told Reuters the #Trump admin will be watching #class certification decisions closely & plans to aggressively challenge them to prevent “abuse”of the process.

The govt says the named class plaintiffs in the New Hampshire case are too different from one another to be able to proceed as a #ClassAction. They include an #asylum seeker & someone on a #StudentVisa.

Continued thread

The plaintiffs in the NH #BirthrightCitizenship case are looking to seize upon one of the major exceptions to #SCOTUS’ ruling. They argue it allows #judges to continue to block #Trump policies on a nationwide basis in #ClassAction lawsuits.

The lawsuit, which was filed by the #ACLU & others hours after the Supreme Court ruled, seeks class action status on behalf of babies who would be subject to Trump's #ExecutiveOrder & their parents.
