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.

It's far from fair given that if _I_ breach copyright and get caught, I go to jail, not just pay a fine.

Even if you don't pay the exorbitant fines?

Technically at that point it would be for something like contempt of court if you had a judgment against you and you just ignored it
