Authors push back as publishers and literary agents claim share of Anthropic copyright settlement

TechCrunch reports that authors are objecting that publishers and literary agents are claiming what the authors say is a larger-than-warranted share of payouts from Anthropic's copyright settlement.

Significance 2: Context-level: a distribution dispute among third-party claimants (authors vs. publishers/agents) over an already-established Anthropic settlement; it doesn't move a tracked score or verdict, or reflect a new action by Anthropic itself.
