Voice.ai: GPL Violations with a Side of DRM
A lot of tech industry doesn't seem to take FLOSS license violations very seriously.<p>Maybe it'd help to instead call it "IP theft", which still sounds a bit serious.<p>I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how this would work, but something like the following seems interesting...<p>In those cases in which IP theft appears to be intentional or grossly negligent, don't respond like a nonprofit flowerchild bringing peace and love to someone who simply didn't know.  Instead, get a pitbull of a lawyer, to make the perpetrator <i>actually</i> regret it.<p>Which, for startups that made claims to investors regarding ownership/rights to the IP they used, could then trigger an additional concern: defrauding investors.<p>Then, after news of companies sorely regretting IP theft, a lot of companies proactively ban IP-theft-laundering tools like Copilot.  And the companies that keep using tools like Copilot (or who don't excise existing stolen IP code quick enough, before forensic tools catch up, and catch them), start getting called to account by the pitbulls.
