The production of anime music videos is a fan activity where tiny clips from animated shows are pasted together, with a piece of music replacing the audio track. The result is typically 3-4 minutes long. The audio may or may not be original; regardless, the video content never is, barring some very very light editing. These can be quite inventive works; nevertheless, no-one seriously argues that the video content does not breach the original animators' copyright. The video content of an amv is a much better analogy for what copilot does to third parties' code than anything else I've seen in this post's discussion so far.
