You put your great ideas up your nose, then try to tell me where the fuck to go

I just wish to state for the record that it seems unnecessary that on the same day that our next-door neighbors break ground on their new driveway with all the requisite jackhammers and sleep-stopping dump trucks, I have to find out—like so many other friends and colleagues—that my work has been pirated by the plagiarism engines of Meta. Please send class action suits and an eighteen-pounder.

I thought there was a class-action suit, and then it turned out to be information about an old one mistakenly getting reposted. Bah.

As of earlier this month, Kadrey v. Meta still looks live.

Yeah, it looks as though several people, including me, got muddled. I hope no harm done in the end, and apologize for my part in the confusion.

Since it looks as though the originally linked e-mail addresses are still viable, I plan to write to them! No harm done and thank you for thinking of me.

I'd seen the contact information in the first of your linked posts, but not the updated information in the second, which I appreciate you sharing!

Yeah, as I understand it, that's live and as a "person or entity domiciled in the US" who holds copyright on something swept up in LibGen, you are automatically included in the class.
