During most of his NBA career, Chamberlain was good friends with Bill Russell. Chamberlain often invited Russell over to Thanksgiving, and at Russell's place, conversation mostly concerned Russell's electric trains.Cherry, 360–361. But as the championship count became increasingly lopsided, the relationship got strained, and turned hostile after Russell accused Chamberlain of "copping out" in the notorious Game 7 of the 1969 NBA Finals.

During a conversation with students, a reporter—unknown to Russell—heard Russell describe Chamberlain as a malingerer and accused him of "copping out" of the game when it seemed that the Lakers would lose. Chamberlain was livid with Russell and saw him as a backstabber. Chamberlain's knee was injured so badly that he could not play the entire offseason and he ruptured it the next season. The two men did not speak to each other for more than 20 years until Russell finally met with Chamberlain and personally apologized.

If a player meets the requirements for a solo but doesn't say it, it's possible for the player who takes the blind to demand that all cards are put on the table. If a player is then caught copping-out the Solo, he has to pay the game (8 times the last bidded game value). This process called Schinden is not cheating, but a legal way of conduct bearing the risk of being caught. If a player wants to play a solo the other players can be against it and can play a Gegensolo.

George Harrison discussed "All That I've Got (I'm Gonna Give It to You)" and Billy Preston's career on Apple Records in an interview he gave to BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Johnny Mercer on March 9, 1970. He said that the song was Preston's attempt to re-engage with his black soul roots after his 1969 hit single "That's the Way God Planned It" had been ignored by soul/R&B; radio stations in the United States. Harrison added that Preston had been hurt by criticism from these radio programmers, who said that he was "copping out … going with the whiteys" by embracing rock music. Preston wrote "All That I've Got" with Doris Troy, another American soul singer who was signed to Apple Records.

It was Russell's death which was key in the politicisation of the Dial House residents. The functioning community now came to feel that the lifestyle that they had created outside the system was in some ways an avoidance of personal and social responsibility, that maybe dropping out was copping out. So, in 1977, Rimbaud and a fellow resident, Steve Williams, aka Steve Ignorant, formed a band on the back of the then growing punk scene which they hoped might create a platform for the ideals promoted and lived at Dial House: a loose form of anarchism notably incorporating pacifism, feminism and vegetarianism. The band, Crass, very quickly came to be seen as leaders of what later became known as the Anarcho Punk Movement which, in turn, became almost synonymous with the by then hugely influential Peace Movement.
