Anthropic Races to Contain Leak of Code Behind Claude AI Agent
wsj.com“Anthropic issues copyright takedown requests”.
This could really be an April's fools joke.
Their DMCA is in the GitHub DMCA repo, they are trying to do damage control, but the magic smoke escaped the CPU and you can't put it back in
If the claim is true that they vibecoded the app, and if AI output is uncopyrightable, technically they are in violation of DMCA and someone that can afford it could fight back and be rewarded, no?
I don’t think the SCOTUS has said that AI output is uncooyrightable just that a human or humans has to own the copyright.
I believe the USPTO has said that ai generated works are not copyrightable. They would likely have to fight this in many jurisdictions with different rules about these things.
The follow on question is "if one cannot copyright, does the same apply to licensing?"
The award is damages which would be minimal in most cases.
The source would be of no particular interest and not newsworthy if it was open source in the first place.
