If you pay a shady character to get you a modern laptop for $100 you can't claim that you were unaware that it was most likely stolen and the fact that you paid for it something doesn't absolve you morally.

does shady guy have his name on the side of a building, and run ads: "buy my shady stuff" and then pay taxes and his earning? That kind of shady guy?
Sometimes. Like Amazon, widely known for their workers and 3rd party vendor exploitation practices.

You can no more claim ignorance of where the github copilot code comes from than where the Amazon's low, low prices come from.

Whether you care is totally on you regardless of whether you pay ir not. You pay for product or service not moral absolution.

Are thousands of amazon employees going to be in same docket with me?
