To set people's expectations, it is likely to take a bunch of lawsuits and a bunch of cases here to get to anywhere useful.
The problem with lawsuits on copyright is that they are rarely precedential.
I get that what people see is the large cases that try to tackle big topics.
But for every single one of those, there are probably 10x or 100x equally large case that did precisely none of that.
This is particularly true of fair use, it is very fact specific.
A court is much more likely to answer a very fact specific question about copilot, tied to the very specific facts of the case (IE how is this exact thing used/etc) than more broad, abstract questions.
In fact, standard Article III courts in the US are literally not allowed to issue advisory opinions.
