The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Well, so says a story reported on slashdot:

https://entertainment.slashdot.org/stor ... lic-domain

"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."

people need to tell slashdot nerds that just because they're into free software doesn't mean they know everything about copyright

The idea is neat, but there's a whole lot of rhythmic permutations and multi-octave melodies that would be left out.

I claim RFC 2795 establishes prior art.

Yeah I also seem to recall someone doing something similar a few years ago. I bet it was even written up on Slashdot.

I'm way ahead of that, here's a compact mathematical representation of all songs ever made (and all songs ever to be written), among a few other things:
e

While it is strongly believed that e is disjunctive, I don’t believe it has yet been proven.
