The fact you don't know is the problem.

I can't use co-pilot because if I am stealing someone else's copyrighted code I'm in trouble from a legal standpoint.

I definitely agree that we should find out. I've used Copilot almost since its inception, and I've seen nothing like a large copied/pasted function. If anything, it's mostly a single/double line autocomplete based on what I would have written anyway.
