This is extra ridiculous even for "capitalism".

It would be like if Carnegie Steel somehow could have prohibited people from buying their steel in order to build a steel mill.

And moreover in this case the entire industry as it exists today wouldn't exist without massive copyright infringement, so it's double-extra ironic because Anthropic came into existence in order to make money off of breaking other people's rules, and now they want to set up their own rules.
