Anthropic的15亿美元版权和解案在7月获得最终批准，将向近50万部作品的作者支付赔款，每部作品作者可获3000美元1。根据和解条款，在出版状态下，款项按50-50分配给作者和出版商；而对于自出版或版权已归还的作品，作者应获得全部赔款1。
然而，多名作者报告称收到邮件发现出版商和文学代理正对部分款项提出不当索赔1。作者April Henry指出，HarperCollins对一部已归还17年的作品提出了索赔1。Writer Beware的Victoria Strauss收到了两类投诉：出版商对自身并无合法权益的作品要求赔偿，以及对仅享有50%权益的作品要求获得100%支付1。此外，作者们还报告称文学代理也在提出索赔，尽管这些代理方并非版权所有者1。作者Courtney Milan在Bluesky上直言反对代理机构提出的百分比索赔1。版权归还的截止日期为2022年8月10日1。
Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement received final approval in July, establishing payouts of $3,000 per work to authors of nearly 500,000 titles1. However, authors are now reporting that publishers and literary agents are making claims that exceed their rightful shares of the compensation1.
Under the settlement's terms, payments are distributed 50-50 between authors and publishers for works still under contract, while self-published works or titles with rights reverted to authors result in full payment going to the authors1. Despite this framework, authors have documented problematic claims. Author April Henry reported that HarperCollins is seeking compensation for a work whose rights were returned 17 years prior to the settlement1. Writer Beware's Victoria Strauss has received complaints in two categories: publishers claiming payment for works in which they hold no legal rights, and agents demanding 100 percent of payments for works where they only retain 50 percent interest1. The copyright reversion cutoff date for the settlement was August 10, 20221.
Literary agents have also begun submitting claims despite not being copyright holders1. Author Courtney Milan voiced public opposition on Bluesky to agents seeking percentage-based claims against settlement funds1. These disputes underscore tensions between authors and intermediaries over the distribution of the record copyright settlement.
