Settlement Terms (from the case pdf)

1. A Settlement Fund of at least $1.5 Billion: Anthropic has agreed to pay a minimum of $1.5 billion into a non-reversionary fund for the class members. With an estimated 500,000 copyrighted works in the class, this would amount to an approximate gross payment of $3,000 per work. If the final list of works exceeds 500,000, Anthropic will add $3,000 for each additional work.

2. Destruction of Datasets: Anthropic has committed to destroying the datasets it acquired from LibGen and PiLiMi, subject to any legal preservation requirements.

3. Limited Release of Claims: The settlement releases Anthropic only from past claims of infringement related to the works on the official "Works List" up to August 25, 2025. It does not cover any potential future infringements or any claims, past or future, related to infringing outputs generated by Anthropic's AI models.

I had the same question.

It looks like you'll be able to search this site if the settlement is approved:

> https://www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/

If your work is there, you qualify for a slice of the settlement. If not, you're outta luck.

I'm an author. Can I get anthropic stock instead?

I didn't see a way to search for my book there, but there definitely is an author intake form.

This site references Meta, but the training corpus probably has some overlap? Maybe?
