Just released NoCopy, a Kotlin compiler plugin that enables using data classes as value-based classes by moderating usage of their copy method.

Whats the problem with copy? I mean if you copy it you haven't changed the original value right?

For one, it's a guaranteed source of binary incompatibility as you add new properties to the type when all you wanted was value semantics.
