The NEaT annual holiday party will be in Helsinki on the evening of Friday, 5 December. This year we’ll have a pizza bar and an evening of pure drama! You bring your favorite pizza topping, and we’ll supply the pizza bases to build on.
Bring yourself, your favorite pizza topping and your own beverages. NEaT will provide a welcoming drink and dessert and an evening at a theatre casting.
A note for our party-goers from the casting director: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ‘Casting Kvetch’! The popular game show featuring a bunch of linguists trying to make a movie about a bunch of thespians trying to make a movie! I am your genial host, the Casting Director. Using the script of ‘Kiss Her, Kate’, and appointing Director, Producer, and aspiring actresses, we shall attempt to cast this show. Don’t worry, everyone gets a go. First prize is a promise of a lead role in my next play.
This is an open event so bring a friend or colleague you would like to introduce to NEaT.
5 December at 5 pm
PAM Office, Säästöpankinranta 4 C 21, Helsinki, push the buzzer and we’ll open the door
Free for members, five euros for non-members
Are you a published translator or author? You might be entitled to compensation from Anthropic.
The American AI company Anthropic has put $1.5 billion in a settlement fund following a class action suit about copyright and training AI models using Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi). If you are a copyright owner of a work included in the Anthropic Copyright Settlement you could be paid about $3,000 per work minus costs, as long as you file your claim(s).
There is a settlement website where you can check for your works and file claims (deadline March 2026). The American Authors Guild has an explanation of the case. (We had news about LibGen earlier in 2025.)
