It is hard to imaging these authors would had generated this much income
any other way .... and I am sure every copyrght troll now senses blood
in the water. The key finding here is that Anthropic acquired access to
these books illegally.

NEW YORK (AP) — Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has agreed to
pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit by book authors who
say the company took pirated copies of their works to train its chatbot.
The landmark settlement, if approved by a judge as soon as Monday, could
mark a turning point in legal battles between AI companies and the
writers, visual artists and other creative professionals who accuse them
of copyright infringement.
The company has agreed to pay authors or publishers about $3,000 for
each of an estimated 500,000 books covered by the settlement.
“As best as we can tell, it’s the largest copyright recovery ever,” said
Justin Nelson, a lawyer for the authors. “It is the first of its kind in
the AI era.”
A trio of authors — thriller novelist Andrea Bartz and nonfiction
writers Charles Graeber and Kirk Wallace Johnson — sued last year and
now represent a broader group of writers and publishers whose books
Anthropic downloaded to train its chatbot Claude.
