That's not a problem, we already have copyright laws that prevent people from distributing mirrors of copyrighted works. They don't care about how the works were copied.
- cycomanic 4y agoSo you are saying we should prosecute MS because co-pilot is distributing the copyrighted work? Or in other words why is co-pilot spitting out the code to someone else (often with copyright notices removed), not code distribution?
- zabzonk 4y ago> So you are saying we should prosecute MS because co-pilot is distributing the copyrighted work? yes, isn't that what very many people are saying?
- wnkrshm 4y agoIt becomes a problem when violating content can be generated faster than it can be discovered and fined.
- i_like_apis 4y agoSo copyright law should be rewritten? It doesn’t follow.
- oneeyedpigeon 4y agoOnly if the person generating that content is able to earn greater profit than the fine, before they are stopped.
