Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement for AI training on pirated books is causing disputes as some authors report publishers and literary agents claiming more than their fair share of payments. The settlement pays $3,000 per pirated title, split 50-50 between author and publisher if the book is in print, or fully to the author if rights reverted before August 2022. Complaints include publishers claiming rights to reverted books and demanding full payments instead of half, while some agents are also making unexpected claims. Industry experts attribute these issues mainly to poor record-keeping and a complex settlement process, with ongoing efforts to resolve errors and guide authors on disputing claims.
