It's going to be hilarious to watch Anthropic argue with a straight face that it's illegal (or at least tortious) to take someone else's IP and repurpose it

I think this is about trademark not IP

  • Trademark is a type of intellectual property protection

    • GP clearly meant "trademark not copyright".

      It's perfectly coherent to be in favour of strong protection of trademarks but also weaker copyright laws. They have very different purposes (broadly, consumer protection as a mark of origin vs incentivising creativity). Just because they're both in the legal category of "IP" doesn't mean it's hypocritical to have very different positions on both.

“Claude Composer” is just blatant trademark infringement. It sounds like an official Anthropic product.
