I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.
who owns code written with Copilot. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves content I created over the past 25 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What's the typical outcome in situations like this?
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Update: filed in small claims court last week. Total cost was $75 filing fee + $20 for service by the sheriff. Small claims is designed for self-representation, but attorney review can help where facts, damages, documentation, or statutory penalties are disputed. The defendant (a major corporation) has to send a representative to appear in person. Most of the time they'd rather settle than send someone to small claims court over a few thousand dollars.
