Anthropic's DMCA takedown mistakenly removes legitimate code

Anthropic's effort to remove leaked Claude Code client source code from GitHub via DMCA notices inadvertently led to the removal of thousands of legitimate code forks. While the company has since reversed the overzealous takedown, it faces an ongoing challenge in controlling the spread of its leaked code. Copies have appeared on multiple platforms, and AI-driven reimplementations further complicate efforts to contain the leak, raising questions about code ownership and AI-generated works.
