The line between enumeration and a very prolific artist is blurry. What if someone instead of just enumerating them created actual songs featuring them as themata? And what if those songs were tool-assisted? But still catchy?
I see it as likely that someone will eventually try it not just as a legal strategy but because of a genuine curiosity in music and AI.
According to wikipedia
> There is a long tradition in classical music of writing music in sets of pieces that cover all the major and minor keys of the chromatic scale. These sets typically consist of 24 pieces, one for each of the major and minor keys (sets that comprise all the enharmonic variants include 30 pieces).
I don't think anyone would say there is any ill intent even though it is based on an enumeration.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThat's what courts are for! Their job is to figure out the shade of colour a thing has.
- im3w1l 7y agoYour color paradigm can trivially solve the current case - it's an enumeration and not a creative production. But the future case I'm speaking of will be a very real dilemma and either decision will have drawbacks. It's not just about seeing through a hack.
- TeMPOraL 7y ago> a very real dilemma and either decision will have drawbacks That's bread and butter for the courts. You don't need judges and juries and lawyers to see through a simple hack; trying to use a trivial enumeration to defeat a copyright claim is just "ha ha, nice try, but nope" issue no reasonable layman would have a problem with. Shades of colour are of critical importance in precisely those cases that are fuzzy, where there is no obvious ruling to be made. That's what the courts are made for.
