Science Tackles Age Old Copyright Question: Is it or is it not?

Did anyone happen to see CBS Sunday Morning, April 3, 2022 (yesterday)?
It was VERY INTERESTING.

Damien Riehl, a musician, lawyer, and programmer, showed Pogue a hard drive: "On this hard drive is 68 billion melodies that arguably include every melody that's ever been written, and every melody that ever can be written."  He and a friend wrote a software program to generate those 68 billion melodies, to make the point that suing over a snippet of a song is absurd. "What we've done is taken all of these songs, all of these melodies, and placed them all in the public domain," Riehl said, "so that anyone could be able to use them freely, without having to worry about getting sued."

Good arguments.
