Brilliant. It sounds a bit like those guys who brute-forced every melody below a certain size.

- tech-historian 5y agoThose melodies were used to fight copyright, not profit from extortion. Different use case.
- CRConrad 5y agoOpposite use case, but basically same idea. If only some forward-looking intellectual freedom fighter had beaten these bastards to the punch and applied it to the home-building business like those guys did to music. Hm... Maybe someone ought to go through all industries, check whether they rely on common and semi-obvious "intellectual property" like this, and start algorithmically generating and publishing all combinations. But who? I don't think I'm up to it on my own... The EFF or some body like that?
