Who Qualifies for the Anthropic Settlement?

Authors and rights-holders: You must be the author, publisher, or rights-holder for the work in question. Estates and heirs of qualifying authors are also eligible.
Books on the Anthropic Works List: Your works must appear on the official list of books identified as part of the LibGen or PiLiMi datasets downloaded by Anthropic on August 10, 2022.
ISBN or ASIN on file: The book must have an identifiable ISBN or ASIN. This is how works are matched against the settlement dataset.
US Copyright Office registration: Works must have a valid copyright registration with the US Copyright Office to qualify for a settlement payment.
Claim filed before March 30, 2026: You must have filed a claim through the official settlement claims portal before the March 30, 2026 deadline (or had an attorney do so on your behalf).

⏳ Why sell now?

The settlement distributes payments in 4 installments through September 2027. If Anthropic doesn't complete a qualifying financing event, you could be waiting until late 2027 for the final payment. We give you certainty today.

Estimated Value Ranges

The $1.5 billion settlement fund is distributed among all qualifying works. Based on current estimates, each registered work may receive:

$1,500 – $5,600
per qualifying work (estimated)

We make you an immediate cash offer based on the estimated value of your qualifying works — paid within 5 business days. No waiting for the settlement administrator. No uncertainty.

* Estimates are based on the $1.5B settlement fund, estimated number of qualifying works, and attorney fee deductions. Actual per-work amounts may vary.

Why Sell Your Claim Instead of Waiting?

The settlement is approved, but distributions won't reach claimants for years. Here's why many authors choose immediate liquidity.

Settlement distributions are years away

Even with final approval in April 2026, the full claims review and payment process is expected to extend through 2027 or later. That's a long wait for cash you're entitled to today.

💵

Get cash without legal uncertainty

While the settlement has been approved in principle, appeals and administrative delays can push timelines further. A cash sale locks in value now, regardless of what happens next.

📋

No paperwork headaches

We handle the assignment-of-proceeds process. You sign a straightforward agreement and we take on the administrative burden of following up with the settlement administrator.

🔒

Attorney-reviewed, secure process

Our assignment agreements are reviewed by independent legal counsel. The process is transparent: you'll know exactly what you're selling and what you're receiving before signing anything.

What Claimants Are Saying

Authors and rights-holders who chose certainty over waiting.

I had 11 books on the list and had no idea what the settlement timeline actually looked like. When I found out payments could stretch into 2027, I decided to sell. The process was straightforward — I got a fair offer, signed the agreement, and had the money in my account within the week. No regrets.

I wasn't even aware my works were on the Anthropic Works List until I searched this site. Turns out I had seven qualifying books. The offer was reasonable and the whole thing took less than a week from first contact to payment. I appreciated that there was no hard sell — they gave me time to review everything.
