If your book(s) were, or are pirated on LibGen and subsequently used by Anthropic to train its AI models, the courts have ordered them to pay a minimum of $1.5B. Authors might/could/perhaps get an estimated payment of $3,000 per work (based on current estimates of the # of pirated works trained on).

But you definitely won't get your $$$ unless you register your claim: https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/register

Other authors, I actually have enough audio to make a little Sightless Scribbles starter pack audiobook of sorts. Thing is, I am literally the worst with math, so if I tried to do any royalties, I would be in court quicker than you can blink because of my inadequate math skills, so what audiobook platform is everybody using? I don’t want to go with ACX because #Audible hates creatives and is actively trying to harm multiple creators, so does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there a platform that would handle these royalty payouts for me? I’m also not even sure if narrators get royalties or not? I paid for all of these narrations in the past. I’m just collecting them now. #Publishing#Author#Authors#IndieAuthors
