or you just do it and be in the EU

it's a clear anti-competive clause by a dominant market leader, such clauses tend to be void AFIK

It might suffice to just make it look like you’re European to keep their goons from harassing you, which hasn’t happened yet but will, because that’s how these stories always end. Get a PO Box for a credit card and VPN in through Europe.

		I think one might argue even a VPN might be enough. Theoretically someone might be European and can have American card or any other countries cards and it would generally be okay. So the only thing you kind of need to figure out is VPN and ProtonVPN provides free vpn service which does include EU servers access as well I wonder if Claude Code or these AI services block VPN access though. If they do, ehh, just buy a EU cheap vps (hetzner my beloved) and call it a day plus you also get a free dev box which can also run your code 24x7 and other factors too.

Who is the dominant market leader? OpenAI dwarfs Anthropic.

Most people still haven’t heard of Anthropic/Claude.

(For the record, I use Claude code all day long. But it’s still pretty niche outside of programming.)

		We are discussing Claude Code clones - the market _is_ programming

What do you mean by void? Sure you cannot be sued for writing clone, in any country. All they can do is ban account and I think they can ban any account in EU.
