  • Musicians generate all me

    From Nightfox@BATTLEST/FREEWAY to All on Tue Feb 25 11:04:00 2020
    I heard about this today and thought it was interesting and funny. Two programmer-musicians created an algorithm & program to create every possible melody (via MIDI) and released it all to the public domain to prevent musicians from being sued. I wonder if this will really work.

    Now, about a year later.. has this had any traction or
    relevance or standing in a court?

    I haven't heard anything new about this since I posted that.

    Yeah.. the concept is probably legally flawed.

    I think this was supposed to be to me, but somehow your post got addressed to "All" so I didn't see that you had replied to me.

    Yeah.. :( I'm pulling this one over Nigel's NNTP server. I
    suppose every message would be processed as if to ALL.
