The only reason the law doesn't work this way for Microsoft Copilot is because the copyright holders are individuals who do not have the capital or expertise to file suit.

If Microsoft instead released a video editor addon that was trained on Disney movies and which would sometimes insert scenes of _any_ Disney movie you can bet your ass we wouldn't be having the same discussion.

Comparing code to movies - in code even a single char difference can change the meaning of everything, in movies - you can skip whole scenes and still get the meaning. I don't think the two are compatible, they are judged by different standards.
