Does this apply to their internal use as well? They can really only claim DMCA status on the leaked code if it was authored by humans. Claude attribution in their internal git history would make a strong case that they do not in fact own the copyright to Claude Code itself and are therefore abusing the DMCA system to protect leaked trade secrets rather than protect copyright.
Genuine question: why can they only claim DMCA if the code is written by humans? Does DMCA specify the method of production?
According to the US Copyright Office, fully AI-generated works aren’t eligible for copyright because they don’t have human authors. They’re in the public domain by default.

What constitutes "fully AI-generated" when you're in an edit loop between an agent and a human?
