Okay, so Copilot isn't illegal, it's just an engine for doing illegal things? That's... not better?

You're right, we should ban the camera and paintbrush as well because people can make illegal materials out of them too.
Cameras and paint brushes can easily make non-infringing works. Users of them can easily be trained how to avoid taking others work.

Copilot on the other hand basically defaults to infringing behavior. Users would have to go to great lengths to be sure they aren't infringing on others work.
