Judge clears historic $1.5B settlement in Anthropic copyright case
A federal judge approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion class-action settlement with authors who alleged the company trained its AI on copyrighted books, offering roughly $3,000 per book. The deal, billed as the largest copyright recovery in history, resolves the plaintiffs’ claims while leaving other copyright lawsuits (e.g., Chicken Soup for the Soul) still in play.
