It'll go to whoever owns the copyright, I presume. Not much point buying the rights to something if it doesn't benefit you.

And that settlement is about book piracy, where anthropic acquired books without paying for them.
The authors reserved the right to file separate suits for things like Anthropic infringing copyrights in the materials they distribute, that would be similar to the WB lawsuit above.
Nah, that's nothing to do with AI. The case was solely about piracy. The fact that it was an AI company who did the piracy is not pertinent to the case or the settlement.We now one have one settlement

I am thinking some of the books I wrote (and that were pirated) would be on that list. With how these things work, I expect a few creatives who levelled the case to get paid, and everyone else who is like me will never see a dime.

My understanding is every author is supposed to get $3k/work stolen. The story should reference the site to lookup the "certified stolen" works.

That's what they say, but they don't give any method (except for those who already were involved with the lawsuit) to actually collect any money (or even verify that their work was among those utilized. As I already know some of mine were in the collection on the site they took books from, it's not too large of a leap to think they also utilized my works as pirated copies).
It's not the first time something like this has happened though. I don't expect anything from the lawsuit to ever reach me, though if I do that could be a pleasant surprise.
