No one wants to stop what Copilot is being sold as. They want to stop the company selling it from doing what it is famous for doing.

Copilot is not selling code, they're selling GPU time. If you're ready to buy a hundred GPU/TPUs to train a new Copilot that is just as good, but for free, then go do it please, everyone will thank you

The tagline is "Your AI pair programmer"

That's the pitch. You're renting a pair programmer.

If your pair programmer is stealing code, you're going to have a bad time. This has nothing to do with...whatever you're on about.

Seriously though. Did you click the wrong reply link?

So you are saying, copyright does not apply to Spotify when it comes to music because they aren’t selling the music but rather a service to olay said music from a catalog?

Also to your other comment about copyright not being an issue if you just use a paragraph from a book - I am not a lawyer but I would think that copyright applies just the same way it applies to musicians who use portions of the melody of other musicians’ songs.
