It's perfectly possible to have a new untested act judged illegal under existing laws, but only after performing the questionable act, and it being examined and judged. My common sense says that without a tiny bit of doubt, copilot is utterly outlaw so far, essentially stealing gpl code where the only price was credit. It probably has several other problems but that is one that anyone can see. I don't mean everyone agrees, I mean the information needed to make the judgement is all present to all observers without needing to see the code or the training process or be a lawyer. There are countless examples of regurgitated gpl code, with no credit. End of search. It's inexcusable because it would have been almost zero burden to get everyone's consent to be included in a collective credit. They didn't even do that. So, whether or not this assertion of mine ever amounts to anything, it's a simple example of something being illegal all along, but maybe you don't know it until after you do it, and it gets examined and judged, and the judgement goes the way that burns you. It doesn't require any new law.
