On: GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code

[foota]

My guess? This person's code has been included outside the original repo with license stripped.

[cryptonector → foota]

That wouldn't save one from DMCA actions if it were music copyrights that they were infringing on. So it shouldn't save one for source code copyright infringement either.

Either we get to have things like Copilot, or we loosen copyright protections a great deal. Is there a third way?
