I largely agree with you. The problem is that huge organizations are apparently the only ones magically allowed to do stuff like this.

Normal people and small businesses get completely demolished by DMCA takedowns etc which often times are completely abusive, but yet go entirely unreviewed. Because fuck those dumb, money thieving criminals.

But if it's Google or Github doing the thing, it's suddenly an act of brilliance and they're above these plebian rules. Disgusting

Right. It just seems like a matter of time before MS strikes / takes down someone's original code for "infringing" upon Copilot output.

Seems like above a certain size, stealing becomes a great business strategy.
