I'm an author, and I've confirmed that 3 of my books are in the 500K dataset.

Thus, I stand to receive about $9,000 as a result of this settlement.

I think that's fair, considering that two of those books received advances under $20K and never earned out. Also, while I'm sure that Anthropic has benefited from training its models on this dataset, that doesn't necessarily mean that those models are a lasting asset.

Cool.

Where can I check if I'm eligible?

This is a 2025 snapshot of Libgen, rather than the dataset Anthropic trained on, or the 'reduced to 500k books' dataset of books by authors who are deemed legally due some cash from Anthropic because Anthropic downloaded the ebook file.
