Why the Claude Code leak is still up

Alberta Tech0:25

Transcription

Did you see the Claude code leak? Oh, I'm sure Anthropic's going to get it taken down soon.

No, actually a couple people found a workaround so they could keep up a version of the code.

What do you mean?

It's called a clean room rewrite. Basically, one AI looks at the source code and writes a design doc that describes everything that's in it, and then [music] the second AI only looks at the design doc and rewrites the code base from scratch.

How does that make it okay? [music]

Well, the second AI never saw the source code, so technically it's not copyrightable.

And that's technically legal?

The best kind of legal.
