antirez · x · 2026-07-23
A repost calling a Reuters headline “near satire” points to the irony of a copyright dispute that has become self-parody.
- The image highlights a Reuters story about Anthropic saying local models are stealing from it while it is paying $1.5B for theft.
- The quoted bullets note that this is the largest known payout in a U.S. copyright case.
- It also mentions that the lawsuit sits inside a broader wave of copyright claims against AI companies, and that some authors and publishers continue separate cases against Anthropic.
