This isn’t contradictory at all. Not Anthropic, OpenAI, nor anyone else, has ever argued for anything that’d see redistributing this leaked code as being legal. This is an entirely bad-faith argument that really just comes down to “Anthropic bad, AI bad, because copyright, and they are using copyright!?”

It’s not “underrated”. Everyone is just 50 steps ahead of you.

Meta and I assume OpenAI and Anthropic did everything they could to acquire data, even doing so illegally, such as downloading all of Anna’s archive. Now it’s an open question of whether it’s a societal good or societal bad, but it does show they have little regard for copyright law when it benefits them.

And this whole “they’re 50 steps ahead of you” nonsense is the same kind of stuff we heard from NFT or crypto bros, that we just couldn’t comprehend the infinite wisdom of a post currency world. Sometimes bad arguments are just bad arguments.

In US downloading copyrighted data is not illegal AFAIK
