So 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?

yes, isn't that what very many people are saying?
It becomes a problem when violating content can be generated faster than it can be discovered and fined.

Only if the person generating that content is able to earn greater profit than the fine, before they are stopped.

So copyright law should be rewritten? It doesn’t follow.
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.
