Just press a button and a song comes out -- can't be copyrighted.
I wonder: what would it take for a machine-generated work to be considered a work derived from a human-generated work? While the machine-generated work still wouldn't be copyrightable[0], would that prevent others from using the machine-generated work without an appropriate license?
