> That's why Anthropic switched to scanning paper books. After they threw away all the tainted data from the pirated books, right?

  Yes, as part of the settlement

    Have you a source for that? Because everyhthing I've read tells me that they paid out a settlement but no mention of deleting the training data or the models that were tainted, e.g. [0] [0] https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/05/anthropic-settlement-ai-book-lawsuit https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/05/anthropic...

  No, because the judge ruled that the training was fair use and the model itself wasn't infringing.

    That sounds pretty applicable to this case, right? _Access_ to the Claude is illicit, but distilling is not. Distilling is fair use.

      Probably yes. Maybe that's one of the reasons they're not suing them.
