judgment. And who knows how much their lawyers are going to get but what would be typical in a class action? Does the law firm get a third? What is typical? So if it had been, let's say, $1.5 billion and the lawyers get a third, you know, they'd be looking at half a billion dollars for some lawyering. But apparently it had to be overseen by a judge. And the federal judge that was going to oversee it looked at the deal that the lawyers made and said, "Uh, really? This doesn't even look like you did this deal for the benefit of the authors. It looks like maybe you did the deal for the benefit of the lawyers because it would not be irrational for a lawyer to say, 'Seriously, they're offering us $1.5 billion.' I don't know. Have you guys done the math? That's $100 million a piece. All we have to do is say yes, and we will get $100 million a piece. We will never have to worry about money again. All you have to do is say yes. Or you could fight that case for months and maybe it would get appealed and maybe they'd win. You know, maybe the other side would win. But you'd fight to try to get more for the authors because if the authors win with this measly $1.5 billion award, it might first of all set the price low for other lawsuits for other entities, but it doesn't work out to much per author. So an author would lose their entire intellectual property for all practical purposes and in return they would get I don't know $1,000 if they were well established."

So the judge just said nope and put a pause on it. I don't know where it goes next, but the federal judge didn't think it looked like a proper deal. I don't know, ma
