How to Kill Copyright: A Brute-Force Approach to Content Creation

This paper explores a theoretical method to challenge copyright law using massive, algorithmically generated content. The “brute-force approach” involves creating every possible permutation of a specific type of content, such as a basic melody, to argue that independent creation of existing works is not only possible but inevitable.
