What about small promos or jingles or a ringtone? Would they just not be copyrightable? I think this is harder to define when you consider that "music" expands further than just the traditional 5 minute song on Spotify or the radio.

- darkarmani 7y agoDoes it matter? Getting granted a "limited-time" (ha) monopoly is only because it encourages the arts, commerce, and advancement. That monopoly is oppressive, so the public better be getting something out of the deal.
