I may be opening a can-of-worms by asking this question.

But, what are the rights around using this algorithmically generated music? Is it free use? Who owns the copyright




The webpage seems to be blatantly ripping off some of the melodies copyrighted by these guys: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/02/whats...


The button presser could make a claim on the copyright. I could see a legal challenge being filled as this not filling the requirement for being a creative work and hence not copyrightable.
