Publishers in many cases claimed 85% to 95% of Anthropic settlement proceeds, textbook authors say

In a letter filed with a US court on 26 October, Kim Pawlak, executive director of the Textbook and Academic Authors Association, said publishers in many cases claimed 85% to 95% of Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement for a single work. Textbooks lack the default 50-50 author-publisher split that applies to trade books (general-interest titles) and academic works.
