I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

who owns code written with Copilot. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 31 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Fwiw my neighbor dealt with this and said the lawyer made it go away fast.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Anyone else notice that companies respond much faster when you CC the state AG or include 'CFPB complaint pending' in your letter? It's like a magic phrase. They go from 'we'll look into it' to 'let's resolve this today.'
