Anthropic paid (or is paying, not sure the schedule for class members receiving payouts) 3000 per work they were found to have infringed - 30 is a fair approximation of the cost to buy a book.

And the typical book only sees 1 copy sold?

  • No, the damages however are the cost of a single book sale (actually just the profit from one) because the only thing that anthropic did that broke the law was pirate it instead of buying a copy (as found by the court...)
