Anthropic's $1.5 billion book settlement descends into chaos as authors and publishers fight over who gets paid

Authors and publishers are filing competing claims over payouts from Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement covering 482,000 pirated books.

Anthropic agreed to pay $3,000 per illegally downloaded book, affecting more than 482,000 titles, in the largest copyright settlement in US history. As payouts begin, authors, publishers, and literary agencies are filing competing claims, complicated by poor rights-reversion records; textbook authors are reportedly owed as little as 10-15 percent under their contracts. A court had ruled Anthropic's use of illegally obtained books unlawful while deeming training on legally purchased books fair use.

In her State of the European Union 2026 speech, Ursula von der Leyen warned that upcoming AI models 'will allow hacking on a level we never thought possible' and cited dangers of self-improving models, referencing a Hugging Face incident. She reaffirmed the AI Act as the core guardrail framework and pledged cooperation with Canada, the UK, and other partners. She also proposed a Kids Act banning social media under age 13 and personal accounts under 15, plus a Digital Fairness Act to be proposed in autumn.
