Do they still do those in some places / industries? For software jobs they wouldn’t do that. It was explained to me something about copyright and ownership if you pay someone to write code vs if they are unpaid.

I don't know about programmers specifically but they use unpaid interns in droves in other aspects of the software industry, entertainment, politics, law, etc.

We have them around sometimes but I'm pretty sure there's a pipeline from local schools so it's "official" and they're finishing up their degrees. They usually get hired but not always.
