From birth moms & other experts, I learned how complicated openness can be—even when it's part of the plan at the start. “We talk about open adoption as if it’s okay for everyone because there are no secrets,” a birth mom & advocate said. “In reality, the hurts of open adoption are just different.”

Yep. They took almost all my books, which (as I'm an Australian author) are not registered with the US Copyright Office. The infuriating thing is that a few are with US publishers, but those publishers didn't register them anyway. Bulllll - shit.
The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results
