No you can't, any more than you can encode a Disney film as a prime number or in the digits of pi and avoid copyright that way.

what the judge isnt arguing is the encoding...hes stating CoPilot:

“rarely emits memorised code in benign situations.”

So, you could in fact encode 5,000 copies of Mulan in different formats and, so long as 4,999 are not verbatim copies, youre good*

*you must affix the letters "AI" to the encoder

The owner of the encoding bot is good, but you're still in trouble when using those results to distribute your Mulan viewer

Maybe you could if you weren't clearly intending this as a way to violate copyright.

It still isn't a magic copyright eraser. The law doesn't fall for mathematical "aha but!" tricks like HN commenters assume it does.

nono, its not magic...

its AI :)
