As celestialcheese says [1], it seems like a manufactured case for the purpose of furthering someone's legal career rather than seeking remittance for any violations made by Copilot.
But I like to put on my conspiracy hat from time to time, and right now is one such time, so let's begin...
Though the motivations behind this case are uncertain, what is certain is that this case will establish a precedent. As we know, precedents are very important for any further rulings on cases of a similar nature.
Could it be the case that Microsoft has a hand in this, in trying to preempt a precedent that favors Copilot in any further litigation against it?

Wouldn't put it past a company like Microsoft.
Just a wild thought I had.
