„By Wednesday morning, Anthropic representatives had used a copyright takedown request to force the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations of the raw Claude Code instructions—known as source code—that developers had shared on programming platform GitHub.“

Because if there’s one thing GenAI companies absolutely don’t take lightly, it’s copyright.

@johl Funny thing is, that code isn't copyrightable (in the United States, anyway), as it's been generated by Claude Code.

@vivtek @johl Generative AI consists of one proposition: there are in-groups that copyright protects but does not bind, and everyone else, whose work is fair game for stealing.

Yeah. Nothing different from Anthropic's usual attitude - training their model on everyone's books is apparently perfectly fine, yet at the same time DeepSeek allegedly training on Anthropic slop is somehow "stealing" from them.

(and according to the allegations, DeepSeek did this as *paid customers of their service* - not even anything underhanded!)
