Mass DMCA takedowns and collateral damage to open Claude Code repos

March 31, 2026Theo - t3.gg, Gergely Orosz, ThePrimeagen

Theo and Gergely Orosz say Anthropic issued broad DMCA requests that removed forks, including repos that did not contain leaked proprietary code and even forks of an open Claude Code SDK. The episode is framed as anti open ecosystem behavior and potentially unlawful DMCA filing.

Anthropic DMCA’d my Claude code fork. …which did not have the Claude Code source.
Anthripic seems to be issuing mass DMCA requests on code that are legit forks of Anthropic's own (open!) "claude code" repo
GitHub then proceeded to take down all forks of the *open source Claude Code SDK* as well!!

This is looking terrible on Anthropic
it's also breaking of the law to file a DMCA on something that never broke it
