My GitHub fork of anthropics/claude-code just got taken down with a DMCA notice lol

It did not have a copy of the leaked code...

Anthropic thinking 1) they can unring this bell, and 2) removing forks from people who have contributed (well, what little you can contribute to their repo), is ridiculous.

DMCA: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2026/03/2026-03-3...

GitHub's note at the top says: "Note: Because the reported network that contained the allegedly infringing content was larger than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository, GitHub processed the takedown notice against the entire network of 8.1K repositories, inclusive of the parent repository."

wow, it's also not like their code was actually good (though this apply to most enterprise software). To hide a client behind closed source (it's also typescript, so even more baffling) is laughable behavior.

I'm also wondering if it's even legally valid?

They constantly love to talk about Claude Code being "100%" being vibe coded...and the US legal system is leaning towards that not being copyrightable.

It could still be a trade secret, but that doesn't fall under a DMCA take down.

You're confused, AI can't itself hold copyright, but the human who triggered the AI to write the code holds the copyright instead.

Yea this is the thing that makes no sense to me. Any frontier model can unmiminize minified JS pretty decently. Obviously not everything comes through, comments and such, but I always assumed the reason it wasn't open source was to prevent an endless shitstorm of AI slop PR's, not because they were trying to protect secret sauce.

their lawyers for the DoD thing are being billed either way, they're putting them to use

Anthropic really needs to embrace it
