I checked mine and about 20 other published examples, and NONE are the list. Seems curious… 00:46:17 Susan Fawcett: Can we contact someone to get a unique ID if we did not get one and our books are on the list? 00:47:01 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): The Settlement Administrator should be able to provide that information to you. Their email is: info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com 00:47:05 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): IF you work is on the list you should have received a direct notice in the mail and by email. Absolutely please contact the settlement administrator if you have not received either, and they can help you 00:47:12 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Reacted to "IF you work is on th..." with 👍 00:47:20 Lewis Lockwood: There are also no listing for Boydell Publishing, a rather large publisher of music titles. 00:49:00 Karen Morris: I am on the list but have not yet received a letter in an envelope from Anthropic Copyright Settlement. Should I be concerned? 00:49:40 Cathy Scott: Replying to "I am on the list but..." I haven't received mine either. 00:49:45 ZICK RUBIN: Some people received a notice with a unique ID, but none of their books were on the list. And so they are apparently not in the class. But then why did they get notice and unique ID? 00:49:50 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: The only works on the list are those that were pirated through specific sites - This class action settlement arises out of a lawsuit brought by various authors against Anthropic PBC (“Anthropic”) alleging that Anthropic violated the Copyright Act by downloading copyrighted works from online websites called Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi) for purposes of training large language models (LLMs). 00:50:42 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "I am on the list but..." The claims period is still open and will be until March 30, 2026. If your work is on the Works List but you have not received a letter (or Unique ID), the Settlement Administrator can assist you. 00:50:44 Lewis Lockwood: Thank you for this information! 00:50:51 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Settlement Administrator: (877) 206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com 00:51:13 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: If you are filing claims for multiple works, email the Settlement Administrator at BulkClaimFiling@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com 00:51:25 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): No need to be concerned if your work is on the list but you have not received a direct notice in the mail. You can read all of the materials on the settlement website, including the class notice, and you can also submit a claim online. If you want to use a unique ID to submit your claim, you can the settlement administrator and they can help you 00:51:54 Cathy Scott: Reacted to "No need to be concer..." with 👍 00:53:03 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "Some people received..." To confirm whether you have a work that is included in the settlement, please use the "Works List Lookup" took on the Settlement Website, which allows you to search for your work. That Works List is comprehensive as to the works in the class. The lookup tool can be accessed here: https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/?_gl=1qhgz8t_gcl_auMTc1MTEyNTMxMi4xNzU5ODYxNjEz 00:53:08 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Reacted to "No need to be concer..." with 👍 00:53:53 ZICK RUBIN: Replying to "No need to be concer..." Jalle, can you explain why some people who have no books on the list nevertheless received both email and mail notices and a unique ID? 00:55:22 Joan Saslow: I filed a claim in October and have a claim number. At that time there was only one of my works on the list. When I checked this week, there are now two works. The new work is one I am likely to receive money. Can you tell me what to do? Can I file again with the new work? 00:55:53 ZICK RUBIN: Replying to "Some people received..." Samir, can you explain why some people who have no books on the Work List nevertheless received email and mail notices and a unique ID? 00:57:59 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): Replying to "Some people received..." I would recommend also contacting the settlement administrator. They will be able to clarify whether the author is a class member. Only folks who are class members should have received direct notice. 00:58:42 Jay Devore: I also filed a claim back in September, and received a reference number. Does that mean my claim has been registered? I no longer have the Unique ID that I believe was included in the initial message. Can I somehow retrieve that? I have not received any communication in November or December. When are notices being sent? 00:59:20 Chuck Corbin: If you have more than 1 unique ID how do you know which one is the right one? 00:59:45 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Hi Jay, that wasn’t the mailing that went out at the end of November. You were just registering to receive a notice. The unique IDs were just sent out with these latest notices. 01:00:22 Hannah Rubenstein: I am a coauthor of two textbooks with Macmillan—8 editions of one book—7 editions of another. My father’s estate also has books, but these are easier. Macmillan told me they were filing; they couldn’t help authors but suggested we file. It looks really complicated to file when there are three coauthors, one of whom is dead, and a publisher 01:00:23 Jay Devore: Can I access the claim info I submitted in order to review? 01:00:24 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "I filed a claim in O..." Thank you for your question. You can submit another claim form with respect to the new work. You can also contact the Settlement Administrator for assistance or to notify them of your submission of an additional claim form. 01:00:37 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: If you haven’t received an email or mail notice, and you have works on the list, reach out to the settlement administrator at  (877) 206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com 01:00:41 Paul Krieger: I filed a claim prior to Unique IDs being assigned. Is that a problem? Do I need to file a new claim with a Unique ID again? 01:00:44 Joan Saslow: Replying to "I filed a claim in O..." Thanks! 01:00:53 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): Reacted to "If you haven’t recei..." with 👍 01:01:16 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): No need to refile if you have already submitted a claim before having an unique ID 01:01:19 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: The unique ID is only a way to make the process of filing claims “easier”. If you’ve already filed a claim, you don’t have to do it again. 01:01:28 Paul Krieger: Reacted to "No need to refile if..." with 👍 01:01:39 Paul Krieger: Reacted to "The unique ID is onl..." with 👍 01:01:43 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): the only reason the settlement administrator is providing unique IDs is to make it easier for folks to fill in the claim form 01:01:50 Karen Morris: Under "claimant type", What is an Author Loan-Out Company? 01:02:14 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "If you have more tha..." There is not necessarily one "right" number. You should ensure that each work of yours that you would like to claim which appears on the Works List is included in your claim form, regardless of whether the work is pre-populated by use of the unique ID. 01:02:40 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): it should, in fact, be easier, because the unique ID is supposed to prepopulate the form with your works. If that is NOT the case when you type in your unique ID, you can contact the settlement administrator and they can help you submit your claim 01:02:44 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "I filed a claim prio..." No, it is not a problem. The Unique ID is not required to file a claim. 01:03:29 Paul Krieger: Reacted to "No, it is not a prob..." with 👍 01:03:56 Hannah Rubenstein: Must you put in their contact info if you don’t have it? 01:04:04 Hannah Rubenstein: For coauthors 01:04:14 Hannah Rubenstein: And when they are deceased 01:04:26 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): You are required to identify and provide any contact information you have or can readily obtain for anyone you believe may be entitled to submit a claim related to the claimed work. This includes authors, co-authors, co-owners, and publishers of the claimed work. 01:04:48 David Hecker: My coauthor passed away about a month ago. Do I put in his name as a coauthor, or something else? And what should I advise my coauthor's wife to do? 01:05:24 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "Under "claimant type..." A loan-out company is typically a separate legal entity that author has created and given certain rights to with respect to the copyrighted work. 01:05:37 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: How many of you just heard about this case from the emails we sent out in the last couple of days saying you may be on the works list? 01:05:46 Michael Spiegler: Please reiterate how I get my unique ids which I don't have. 01:05:55 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): I am so sorry to hear this news David. You can put his name down and I would advise his wife to contact the settlement administrator 01:06:30 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): Michael, you should get it in the mail and by email. If you haven't received it, please contact settlement administrator, and they can likely send it to you 01:06:37 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): If you believe that your co-author, co-author's wife, co-author's estate, or others may be entitled to submit a claim related to the claimed work, then yes, you are required to identify that person and provide any contact information you have or can readily obtain. And sincere condolences to you, you co-author, and their family! 01:06:54 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): Reacted to "If you believe that ..." with 👍 01:09:27 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: This webinar is being recorded and will be made available on TAA’s Anthropic Settlement page: https://www.taaonline.net/anthropic-settlement 01:09:58 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: We will email all registrants and TAA members once it is available. 01:10:13 Joan Hughes: So the publishers will end up with most of the settlement money for education works. Geez. I’m not getting 50% of royalties but I would like that! 01:10:25 Suzanne Dugger: What should we do if the publisher had returned the copyright to me as the author? (So that I could move to another publisher? ) 01:10:48 Hannah Rubenstein: Please address how educational publishers will proceed in terms of how much of a split they will get 01:11:22 Margaret Reece: What happens if the author is the independent publisher? 01:11:32 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "What should we do if..."

[Give specific dates of last edition, if helpful.

Thanks. I can upload the documentation verifying this. 01:13:05 Karen Morris: Thanks for keeping up with the chat questions! My book has nine editions. Only an earlier edition of is included in the list. The publisher for that edition is out of business. Do I need to do anything special for that situation? 01:13:26 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Here is a direct link to the Works Lookup list to see if your works are included in the settlement https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/?_gl=11i5nndj_gcl_auMTA4NjQ2Njg3NC4xNzU5NDE1MTg4 01:14:45 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "Thanks for keeping u..."

I received a hard copy of the material but no email. The hard copy does not have a unique ID listed. 01:22:06 Karen Morris: Who is the administrator? A lawyer? What length of response time should we anticipate? 01:22:15 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "Where do I find my U..." Hi Hans. I believe the unique ID is on the envelope. 01:22:45 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "Where do I find my U..." Contact the settlement administrator if you still can’t find it. 01:23:07 Susan Fawcett: My publisher refuses to answer my questions about this settlement or even admit they know about it. What to do? Cengage is my publisher. 01:23:09 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): The settlement administrator is named "JND Legal Administration".

You can save a copy of the chat yourself, but I will post it with the recording 01:25:07 Joan Saslow: Replying to "Will the chat be pre..." Thanks! But how to save it myself? 01:26:05 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Thank you for your question, Hope. You can list both publishers if you believe they may be entitled to submit a claim related to the claimed work. 01:26:10 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "Will the chat be pre..." I’m not sure if you are seeing this, but there is a series of dots in the upper part of the chat window by the name of the webinar. It creates a drop down where it says “save chat”. I’m an admin though, so I’m not sure if you see that as a participant. 01:26:58 Kevin Patton: Replying to "Will the chat be pre..." non-admins can see it. Suggestion: wait until the end of the webinar to "save" to capture the later comments, too. 01:27:05 Joan Saslow: Replying to "Will the chat be pre..." Thanks! I should have known that. 01:27:26 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: You don’t have to wait for the unique ID. Go to the works list and see if you have works on the list. 01:27:49 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: You can search by author name, ISBN and other factors. 01:28:13 Richard Wolfson: I’d like to discuss this question of author/publisher split with other authors. Are any of you willing to share email so we can stay in contact? Thanks. 01:29:27 David Sadava: Kim (and Brenda): Thanks for all you are doing for authors! 01:29:53 Wendy Tietz: Yes, thank you Kim and Brenda, this has been quite helpful. 01:30:03 Lynn Wilson: So if we received notice for another author, how do we get it to them, and how do we know if anyone received the notice for our work? 01:30:55 Karen Morris: Is this correct: If only one edition is on the list, the other, more recent editions, are not included. True? 01:31:28 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "Is this correct: If..." Yes, that is correct. Only the works/editions that show up when you do the search are included in the settlement. 01:32:43 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com 01:33:19 Frank Carrano: Thank you Kim, Brenda, Jalle, and Samir!! 01:33:25 Jalle Dafa (Lieff Cabraser): Reacted to "Thank you Kim, Brend..." with 👍 01:33:25 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Court Notice: Anthropic Copyright Class Action is the subject line in the notice 01:33:42 Paul Krieger: Thanks so much!

If coauthor opts out, am I still in? 3. If coauthor does nothing, am I still in? 01:35:21 Lillian Black: Thank you. 01:35:50 Samir Doshi (Susman Godfrey): Replying to "2. If coauthor opts ..." If you opt out a work from the Settlement, that means that you and any other legal or beneficial owners of that work will not receive any payment from the Settlement for that work. If one rightsholder opts out of the Settlement, the entire work, and the rest of the rightsholders for that work, are opted out as well. For example, if you are an author and choose to opt out your work, that means you will not receive any payment, your co-authors will not receive any payment, and your publisher will not receive payment. If you are a publisher and choose to opt out your book, that means that you will not receive any payment, and all authors of that book will not receive any payment. 01:36:00 Susan Fawcett: What shall we do if our publisher refuses to answer or even acknowledge that they know about the settlement? 01:36:17 Michael Spiegler: Thank you for this great presentation and TAA's help with this. 01:36:46 Dana Loewy: Can we trust that the Anthropic list of works is truly comprehensive/complete? 01:37:09 Kim Pawlak, Executive Director, TAA: Replying to "Can we trust that th..."
