📚🎵 Owning All Words and Music — A Mad Scientist’s “Evil” Copyright Hack
⚖️ The Law as It Stands — The Mad Scientist Supreme explains that copyright law protects both written works and musical compositions after a certain threshold:
You can’t copyright a single common word (like “the”), but a sequence of enough words can trigger copyright protection.
In music, you can legally sample up to 7 seconds without paying royalties, but 8 seconds or more requires permission and payment.
💡 The Loophole Idea —
1. For Writing — Use a computer program to generate every possible combination of dictionary words in every sequence and paragraph length. Publish it officially (e.g., with the Library of Congress).
2. For Music — Use software to compose every possible sequence of musical notes, in every key and tempo. Publish and register them.
📜 The Effect — If all possible word and music combinations are pre-copyrighted, then any new book, article, song, or melody could technically infringe on your registered works — meaning you could demand royalties from virtually every creative output.
😈 Why It’s “Mad Scientist Level Evil” — While legally possible in theory, this tactic would:
Spark massive legal battles.
Make you extremely unpopular with creators, publishers, and the public.
Likely force courts to create a new legal precedent invalidating your claim.
💰 The Short-Term Upside — Until such a ruling, you could potentially collect enormous royalty checks from every book, newspaper, magazine, or song released — leveraging copyright law to monopolize human expression.

📚 Words and Copyright: When Does Ownership Begin?
The discussion starts with literature. Copyright protections trigger once a "substantial portion" of a work is copied—often understood as multiple consecutive sentences or paragraphs.

🤖 Algorithmic Content Generation: The Legal Hack
Enter the thought experiment:
Using a computer program, one could theoretically generate every possible combination of words in the English language—starting with two-word pairs, then three-word combinations, and so on, until entire paragraphs are algorithmically created.
If these combinations were cataloged and registered with a body like the Library of Congress, the Mad Scientist theorizes, then technically one could own copyright over vast swaths of text—including future content yet to be written by anyone else.

🎵 Owning All Music: The 8-Second rule
Using a similar strategy to the word generation scheme, a computer algorithm could write down and record every possible musical note combination, up to a given length (say, 8 seconds or more). These could be registered and copyrighted—meaning all future compositions that accidentally replicate a copyrighted sequence would, in theory, owe royalties to you.

💣 Implications: Weaponized Copyright and AI Collisions
This idea borders on intellectual property warfare. Theoretically, one could:
Monopolize creative space, making it nearly impossible for others to create without infringement.
Sue artists, writers, and AI systems that unknowingly generate matching patterns.
Claim royalties on newscasts, books, music, or even AI-generated chatbot text.
Force courts to confront outdated legal definitions of originality.
