Being incorrigibly nosey, when an e-author shared that her works had been pirated to train AI, that there’s a lawsuit to recoup money from one of the companies that did this, and that she’ll be getting some of it, I checked to see if any of my favorite authors were involved. 4 of Lois Winston’s titles are listed, I don’t belong to Facebook, and I couldn’t find another way to contact her.

Go to this website https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup to see which titles are involved. The author’s warning is contained in this e-newsletter https://effrosyniwrites.com/2026/01/29/authors-bartz-vs-anthropic-settlement-plagiarism/.
I hope she’s already on top of this. If not, the deadline to get some reimbursement is in a few weeks (before the end of March).
Thank you, we are aware of the Anthropic lawsuit and have already responded.
