Authors Push Back as Publishers and Agents Seek Share of Anthropic Settlement
Authors say publishers and literary agents appear to be claiming a disproportionate share of payments from a settlement with AI company Anthropic, according to TechCrunch.

Authors are pushing back against publishers and literary agents over how proceeds from a settlement with artificial intelligence company Anthropic are being divided, according to a report from TechCrunch.
According to the report, authors say publishers appear to be claiming more than their fair share of the settlement payments. The dispute centers on how compensation tied to the settlement should be allocated among the parties involved, TechCrunch reported.
TechCrunch did not detail the specific terms of the settlement or the amounts in dispute in the excerpt reviewed. It is unclear from available information what mechanisms are being used to determine how funds are distributed among authors, publishers and agents, or what steps, if any, are being taken to resolve the disagreement.
EGazette has not independently verified the claims described in the report and is seeking additional details on the settlement and the parties involved.
