To me, the thing that stands out most about this Anthropic code leak is just how quickly the code spread around GitHub. So many people saved the code that it feels almost futile to take down repositories. The leak would just circulate through other means such as discord and other file sharing platforms.
Many people were affected by such as shareholders, Anthropic itself, and most notably innocent developers working on their own legal projects. While I believe the company has the right to take down people that are using their leaked code and AI inappropriately, they without a doubt went too far. Instead of owning the mistake and taking the hit, they went with extremely broad takedowns that encompassed many legal projects, many of which had nothing to do with Anthropic.
Intellectual property is everywhere, from online sites like Instagram or YouTube, to a can of coke. When it comes to digital properties specifically, while complicated due to individual company policies, I believe it is okay to use and share something if it comes from a big company, especially if you have purchased the said item. For example, let’s say you purchase a video game and post a playthrough of it on YouTube. I believe that is fair use and should not be taken down, Afterall you gave the developer money and are getting more eyes on the product, but if it is something like art from an Instagram post and you want to use it or repost, I would say show the creator some support and give them credit.
I have personally not seen anything that comes to mind that is like the Anthropic situation, but I have seen plenty of copyright takedowns and issues on YouTube especially with anything Nintendo related. If I was caught in the Anthropic take down wave, I would be understandably angry and annoyed especially if it was something I poured my heart and time into. Then, depending on the damage, I would try to get legal compensation.
GitHub and Anthropic have the moral responsibility to apologize and make things right for those that were affected by this. It is important for big companies like these to keep the trust of the people, without it they would lose reputation and cease to exist
