>but the moment their own code leaks they reach for DMCA takedowns.
Did they actually? Someone can go to prison for 5 years for that.
Fact 1: AI generated code has no copyright, so the Digital Millennium Copyright Act does not apply.
Fact 2: Misrepresenting your copyright ownership under the DMCA is felony perjury.
Fact 3: The existence of undercover.ts in the leak is grounds to void any copyright claims on whatever human written code might have existed in Claude Code. You have a DUTY TO DISCLOSE any AI generated code in your copyrighted work. undercover.ts HIDES DISCLOSURE to FRAUDULENTLY claim all the code is human written when it is not.
Given the current administration has a bone to pick with Anthropic, it was a VERY BAD IDEA for them to send false DMCA takedowns to github. Someone at Anthropic may be the very first ever to go to prison under that section of the DMCA.
Good luck!
You make some factual claims that I‘ve never heard before and surprise me, especially „Fact 1“.
