Anthropic's DMCA takedown to contain a Claude Code leak accidentally disabled 8,100 GitHub repos, including legitimate forks of its own public code. The company retracted most notices within hours, but a Python rewrite had already gained 100K stars. Legal experts question whether AI-generated code qualifies for copyright protection.

@schuler maybe they let the AI make the takedown and because it was made out of so much similar code stolen from others already, it thought all those copied it, but in reality, the AI was the copy of others and not the other way around?
