The confidence of it not going to court is wrong. It will go to court, but the people saying it's obviously infringing are wrong. And even if it is Microsoft can just change their terms to make copilot compliant.

There is no copyright police outside of criminal infringement.
The DMCA gives you the tools to protect your copyright, if 1000 people infringe on your copyright you need to be ready to sue 1000 people OR attack the platform under safe harbor.
If someone uploads your code to github, you need to find it and ask them to remove it.
If someone uses your code via copilot, infringingly, you need to find it and ask them to remove it.
This is the law as it currently stands.
