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.

I thought that they didn't use this data for training, the "crime" here was making the copies.

i don't understand your logic here, if they never earned out that means you were already "overpaid" compared to what they were worth in the market. shouldn't fairness mean this extra bonus goes first to cover the unmet earnout?
