Should wine ban it though, it just encourages people to lie 3:

Coding is a creative task, there are many many many solutions to any problem, and some problems are a lot more abstract to where even the problem can be different for different people. Like if there's a problem with the users interacting with part of the software, you could try to make it easier to interact with, have a little tutorial, decorate it, make it look good, you know, a form of art, you could also try to make it more intuitive, also a form of art. It's not typically what you'd think about, but coding is a rather creative task and everyone has different ways to go about problems, and those different ways are the different styles of programming people have.

A more fair comparison would be written works being copyright-able, which code is a written work, a large, expressive, written work

Copyleft is a form of copyright, if you're against copyright that's MIT/BSD 0 clause. Also languages aren't typically copyrighted, it's works created within those languages. Although I do agree copyright is kinda very broken, but creators of code do deserve protections, as code is very expressive. I am also a FOSS dev who loves copyleft, which only functions under copyright.

What about prohibiting people from looking at the leaked windows source code? It just encourages people to lie about it.

"wah, they dead in the water if they ban the slop theft machine!"

Code is rather expressive, it's copyright-able for good reason, you can often tell who wrote what via the style and the way the code was written, and the methods used.

They're gonna use AI for that too

They are all, but I can make a special registration URL that we will eventually make an official process for getting, please DM me if you want one.

"But making commercial use of vast troves of copyrighted works to produce expressive content that competes with them in existing markets, especially where this is accomplished through illegal access, goes beyond established fair use boundaries. "

The US copyright office wrote up a pretty large paper pointing out it's piracy.

Violation of copyright/piracy :P Among many many many other crimes. I'll take the word of the US copyright office who says that it is not fair use over your word.
