This isn’t a deal to sell their books. The authors are getting $3k per book while maintaining the rights to their IP. The settlement is to avoid statutory damages which are between $750 and $30k or more per infringement.

One of the consequences of retaining their rights is that they can also sue Meta and Google and OpenAI etc for the same thing.
