- esseph 6mo agoNot just public data.
- spiderfarmer 6mo agoRemember Google’s book scanning project?
- none_to_remain 6mo agoInformation still wants to be free
- nextlevelwizard 6mo agoC’mon bro. It isn’t like all AI companies haven’t pirated all research papers, books, magazines, and pay walled content on the Internet. Either you are being naive AF or you are actively trying to spread discontent. I hope it is the former.

- spiderfarmer 6mo agoTry asking Gemini information from workshop manuals that are not publicly available. It will pretty much tell you everything you want to know, but it will refuse to tell where it got the information.

- madeofpalk 6mo agoI mean, Anthropic's code was "public data from the internet" as well. They published it publicly. Accidentally, but they made it public. Fair game, right?
- Hamuko 6mo agoAnthropic published them in a public S3 bucket. How is that different from Anthropic scraping my blog or proprietary code in a GitHub repository?
- localuser13 6mo ago>obtaining public data from the Internet Like slurping my open source projects, while completely disregarding their licenses. In my case, I'm particularly annoyed by the violation of the spirit of *GPL licenses. So they're no strangers to abusing licensed code (in technically probably legal, but untested in court, ways).
- bakugo 6mo agoMost of that "public data from the Internet" is subject to licenses, yet their entire business model is built on top of a legally grey algorithm that ingests that licensed code and spits it back out without the license. They have no legal right to any of that code, they're just getting away with it because laws are for the poor. If you believe any data that is publicly accessible is fair game regardless of licenses, then by that definition, Claude Code's source code is included.
- Sharlin 6mo agoThere’s this thing about trade secrets that like all secrets, they stop being secret the instant they’re leaked. You can’t DMCA third parties for distributing your trade secrets. The only one you can sue is the party that was contractually bound not to leak them and then did anyway. Now, copyright is a different thing.
- occz 6mo agoBooks3 is public data on the internet in the same way that the Claude code source code is public data on the internet. Except Anthropic published the Claude code source code themselves, while Books3 was not published by their original authors.
- formerly_proven 6mo agoDoesn't Anthropic claim that Claude Code is 100% written by Claude, which would obviously mean that it is not copyrightable code and therefore the DMCA does not apply and logically that these DMCA claims are invalid?
