It’s all shades of gray, of course, but I don’t believe many would say carbon copy/paper as a term/tech in common use. (Case in point: it was the term in this thread suggested by the most people.)

Yeah, it’s a good question! Carbon copy feels like a slightly different thing. Getting a copy in typing was a deliberate decision including inserting sheets of carbon, and with carbon paper it’s automatic? Might be just my feeling.
