Hypothetical question

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 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 6 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Illustrative response

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet.
