There has never been more support for tightening and enforcing copyright than there is today. This is very unlikely to change due to megacorps like Microsoft, Disney, Apple et.al. having a massive vested interest to use it to extract maximum profits.

Copyright protection for the rich and powerful, while those who cannot afford armies of lawyers get their stuff stolen by machine learning models. Sounds credible to me.

I’m not rich and powerful but I’m glad Disney is going to destroy MystickInk on principle.

Check out my essay I’ve submitted recently.

I find Copilot most useful for filling out debug statements such as this:

  println(“foo at {:x} is {:?}”, &foo as *const _ as usize, foo);

It almost always writes what I would have. How DARE I steal from open source contributors like that?!

Given how rust-y that looks, are you aware of `dbg!`? Debug printing + file name + line number and it does it properly to stderr

A human re-using some code according to its license is not the same as an automated machine snorting up all of the code on the platform ignoring any licenses.
