Anthropic should drop the deal and take the battle up the court system, they'll probably win
they did, judge told authors to get better representation to prove harm. I think it's dicey cause if anthropic loses then it could be catastrophic (i.e. if judge jury thinks reward is 5x of what the proposal is would mean they would need to raise a new round)
Anthropic having to raise a new round doesn't sound "catastrophic"...
