Each eligible work receives approximately $3,000, split equally between publisher and author (~$1,500 each), before legal fee deductions. The settlement stems from the Bartz v. Anthropic class action, in which Anthropic was found to have downloaded roughly seven million pirated books from repositories like Library Genesis to train its Claude models. A federal judge ruled that AI training on copyrighted text may qualify as fair use, but acquiring pirated copies does not. Anthropic settled rather than appeal, avoiding potential statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work across ~500,000 qualifying titles. The case sets no binding precedent, leaving ongoing suits against Meta and Google over similar practices to reach their own conclusions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
