There is also the brute force approach (from 2020) to generate every possible melody and release it under the Creative Commons:

That is the reason these guys decided to Copyrighting all the melodies to avoid accidental infringement

did it help?

Is this beginning of a Copyright trolling campaign or preventing accidental infringement as similar case in music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJtm0MoOgiU ?

No way. At all. I say the code and logo is MIT licensed. But funny nonetheless ;p ... I think there's better ways to make money XD

You wouldn't even need ML. Iirc there was this guy who coded a script that played every permutation of 12 notes in a 5 minute period and then made all the Melodys public domain. Ianal so I don't know if this would hold up in court, but technically that should invalidate every copyright on Melodys after that point in time.

Since there is little to no creative input in merely enumerating permutations, I don't think he has a valid copyright to waive. But the fact that the data set exists might sway a judge or jury away from upholding copyright claims on trivial excerpts of other works.

Like this lawyer did? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJtm0MoOgiU

Okay, I love this- also it shows major holes in current copyright laws.

Yes, and Youtube's methods and algorithms they have deployed. They assume the claimant is the rightful owner.

tl;dr the team brute force generate the set of likely melodies and put them on a hard disk to copyright them.
