Musicians algorithmically generate every possible melody, release them to public domain

Motherboard[^]:
Two programmer-musicians wrote every possible MIDI melody in existence to a hard drive, copyrighted the whole thing, and then released it all to the public in an attempt to stop musicians from getting sued.
Finally, I can hum Greensleeves without paying royalties (to royalty)

Quote:
this algorithm works at a rate of 300,000 melodies per second.
Indeed, I'm particularly fond of melody 1,547,689,403, that one always makes me cry.

Update: they're being sued by everyone who ever wrote a song.

Now train an AI with the most popular songs ever released (maybe a list of 10,000 or so) to find all the melodies with a similar pattern - voila, you got a hit writing machine. :D

Or the perfect tool for the copyright troll-lawyers.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's pretty much what happens now, without AI.
