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.

Might be fair for you, is it fair to JK Rowling?

Yes. JK Rowling can still sue about her work being used for training. This lawsuit is about the illegal downloading of her works.

Does JK Rowling really deserve any fairness? She doesn't seem to think that everyone deserves it
