If you were to write large swaths of copyrighted code from memory then yes you'd be committing a copyright violation.
Most humans don't do so unintentionally though.
- elliekelly 5y agoI’m not so sure Copilot is doing so “unintentionally” either...
- FeepingCreature 5y agoJust as an example, this is very widespread in music though.
- contravariant 5y agoIf the whole 'Dark Horse' debacle proved anything it would be that that can still be considered a copyright infringement. Sure that particular example was (rightly IMHO) deemed to not be a copyright violation, but they still had to show their version was original enough, they couldn't just claim such copying wasn't ever an infringement.
