If I could pirate a bunch of content then pay back only 10% of the value while pocketing the rest I’d be thrilled

This is just the cost of doing business for Anthropic.

No particular material harm to the business. Declare the matter settled, everything is fine and dandy, and now they have carte blanche to rape and pillage the next ~~village~~ dataset.
