Gergely Orosz and Techmeme describe Anthropic trying to contain an accidental Claude Code leak with broad DMCA requests that also removed legitimate forks, creating legal and trust backlash and exposing brittle platform processes at GitHub.
Anthripic seems to be issuing mass DMCA requests on code that are legit forks of Anthropic's own (open!) "claude code" repo
Anthropic requested to take down 97 repositories that had copies of their proprietary Claude Code code + all forks *of those*
GitHub then proceeded to take down all forks of the *open source Claude Code SDK* as well!!
Anthropic is racing to contain the fallout after accidentally leaking Claude Code source code, issuing copyright takedown requests to remove 8,000+ copies
Problem is devs still have their repos DMCA'd: repos that were just the fork, nothing else
