Anthropic has settled a copyright lawsuit for $1.5 billion, the largest in U.S. history, after a federal judge approved the agreement. The case focused on the use of pirated books to train its Claude model, with over 91% of affected authors and publishers seeking compensation. The ruling affects CFT measures, as regulators increasingly scrutinize data sources in AI and liquidity and crypto markets. Some claimants have opted out to pursue further legal action. This is the first major U.S. copyright case involving AI training to reach a full settlement.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: After two years, the class-action lawsuit over Anthropic’s book copyright claims has officially concluded, with a U.S. federal judge approving a $1.5 billion settlement—the largest copyright settlement on record in the United States.

Previously, the court ruled that Anthropic's use of books to train the Claude model constituted fair use, but its downloading and storage of over 7 million pirated books still amounted to copyright infringement.

Currently, over 91% of the relevant authors and publishers have applied for compensation. Some rights holders have opted out of the settlement and will continue to pursue Anthropic’s liability in other litigation. This case has become the first major copyright lawsuit involving AI training in the United States to complete trial, ruling, and settlement proceedings.
